Coming Home Songtext
von Von Hertzen Brothers

Alone and alive on the midnight train
The life as I knew it shot down the drain
Right on time or way too late?
Oh lord give me all your mercy to get it straight

The night keeps breathing down my neck
My nerves are shot; I′m nearly a wreck
Oh midnight train, take me away
Oh again, oh again

I do, I don't, I′m close to insanity
I will, I won't, the doubt is a-killing me
Bridges burning
Wheels are turning

I cut the rope and free-fall to stay alive
I cling to hope and see if I learn to fly
Bridges burning
Wheels are turning
And I'm running away


Alone and alive on the midnight train
Over the edge just to feel the flame
Or am I just another pathetic liar?
And if I get burned will I always dread the fire?
Oh yeah

I do, I don′t, I′m close to insanity
I will, I won't, the doubt is a-killing me
Bridges burning
Wheels are turning

I cut the rope and free-fall to stay alive
I cling to hope and see if I learn to fly
Bridges burning
Wheels are turning

I feel the blood rushing through my brain
Under my skin and in my veins
Oh, this is real; no I′m not insane
This time I'm gonna win this race

It′s only me and the open space
I speed up, pray for grace
This is real; no I'm not insane
I′m riding fast on the midnight train


Oh, this time I won't stay at the station
Oh No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No
Oh No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No
Oh No

I do, I don't, I′m close to insanity
I will, I won′t, the doubt is a-killing me
Bridges burning
Wheels are turning

I cut the rope and free-fall to stay alive
I cling to hope and see if I learn to fly
Bridges burning
Wheels are turning, oh

Before I come back home
I've gotta take care of this
Oh, oh I′m coming home
I've gotta take care... yeah
Before I come back home

Oh, I remember being here before
So many times or even more
How many lives do I have to live?
To get things straight on the midnight train

Oh, I remember being here before
So many times or even more
How many lives do I have to live?
To get things straight on the midnight train
