On the Midnight Train

On the midnight train

Traveling through the moon river 

I'm going towards you, my darling

To chase the last maple leave

Moon river flows

On that perfect autumn day

The burning red maple leaves bloom

Do you remember 

My sky-blue dress with white waves and seagulls souring high

I often recall 

How it feels to touch the copper anchor on the hind pocket of your jeans

And the translucent buttons on your shirt

On the midnight train

Traveling through the moon river 

I'm coming, darling

I see your eyes shine 

Bright as

The stars
