Strangers on a Train lyrics

City lights painting stripes across your face In this quiet carriage, our temporary space You looked up from your book, I looked up from mine Two strangers sharing this transitory line And I know we'll never meet again After this night, after this train But for these few hours, while the world moves fast I wanna make this connection last We're just strangers on a train, going who knows where Sharing secrets in the night, like we haven't got a care The tracks keep rolling on, taking us away But I'll remember you beyond today You told me about your dreams, I told you my fears Watching stations disappear The rhythm of the wheels becoming our own song Making me wish this journey would prolong And I know we'll never meet again After this night, after this train But for these few hours, while the world moves fast I wanna make this connection last We're just strangers on a train, going who knows where Sharing secrets in the night, like we haven't got a care The tracks keep rolling on, taking us away But I'll remember you beyond today Sometimes the deepest talks come from a nameless face The purest connections leave without a trace Just a ghost in my memory, beautiful and brief A moment of true human relief We're just strangers on a train, going who knows where Sharing secrets in the night, like we haven't got a care The tracks keep rolling on, taking us away But I'll remember you beyond today
