Destitute, desolation

Angels eyes shine upon my curse

From this mountain I make my way

Along the railroad earth

Steam train blazing a lonely hill

Damaged cargo am I

But not so damaged as not to see

The magic in the sky

Oh Midnight, Midnight Ghost

Ol' zipper rollin' down the line

Oh Midnight, Midnight Ghost

Rollin' down the line

Without a memory, without a heartache

Ain't no comfort in happiness

Tidings whispered and merciful

Are the tidings I like best

dawn twilight, skyline glowing

Mountain wind blowing through (Blowing through)

And I tug upon the jug of my redemption

Nothing much else to do

Oh Midnight, Midnight Ghost...

In a sense my innocence

Been waiting here all along

Thought I travelled so far away

But I was never even gone

Pray for me my Sweet Marie

I'm searching still for to see my sign

Rolling on to a new day

Down that midnight line

Oh Midnight, Midnight Ghost...

Destitute, desolation

Angels eyes shine upon my curse

From this mountain I make my way

Along the railroad earth
