Intro A Bb A Bb (2x)
A
Across the dark and dusty plain
C
Where scars of old dry rivers run
D
Night unfolds, a coal black shroud
F
Across the hard and stony ground
A
Distant stars shining bright
Bb
In the cavern of the night
D
All is still and silence screams
C
To the thunder of the Lorca train
A
Flaming steal swift as wind
C
Wires hum the rails ring
D
Smokestack burning fiery sparks
F
Rise up to the stars
A
Towns asleep by empty roads
Bb
Churches rise from crooked roofs
D
Cloaked in darkness nothing stirs
C
Grow smaller darker disappear
F
See the moon so still and cold
D
A million stars that shed no warmth
A
Your nightmares all come out to play
C
In the silver light
F
Wait for sunrise in the east
D
Long shadows crawl across the plain
A
The ghosts of night will disappear
C A
And lay your fears to rest
A Bb A C (2x)
A C D F A Bb D C
Bm
Steam hissed up, the hot coals glowed
D
The furnace blazed, the wheels they rolled
Em
On tracks of iron, straight and cold
G
The silver moonlight danced
Bm
The flames are in the fireman's eye
C
Orange in the engines glow
Em
Gleaming pistons whirling cranks
D
Wait for dawn the rooster's crow
G
See the moon so still and cold
Em
A million stars that shed no warmth
Bm
Your nightmares all come out to play
D
In the silver light
G
Wait for sunrise in the east
Em
Long shadows crawl across the plain
Bm
The ghosts of night will disappear
D
And lay your fears to rest
