lyrics

Nighttime Train
Timmy Abell

Gather up your daydreams
Tie them each with ribbon bows
Float them with your red balloon
High upon those moonbeams
It’s time to let them go…..

Whistle up your worries
Dress them in their backward wings
They’ll fly and fly past yesterday
With no way of returning
That’s how we set them free…..

Let your listening run on home
Sleeping makes no sound

Bundle up your troubles now
Board them on their nighttime train
Listen while that whistle fades
Watch the red caboose go down
Those tracks and roll away……

Rustle up those rag-tag thoughts
Time for them to hoist their sails
They’ll hang around your sleep-side docks
Unless you gently shove them off
And bid them all farewell

Let your listening run on home
Sleeping makes no sound

Pack up all your pockets full
Of memories you’d like to keep
Let them linger all night long
Let their whispering be the lull … a-by
That helps you sleep

Wrap up all your happy things
That’s the last thing left to do
Tuck them safe and sound inside
So morning time remembering
Will hand them back to you

Let your listening run on home
Sleeping makes no sound
