I often dream of trains

I often dream of trains when I'm alone
I ride on them into another zone
I dream of them constantly
Heading for paradise
Or Basingstoke or Reading

I often dream of trains when I'm awake
They ride along beside a frozen lake
And there in the buffet car
I wait for eternity
Or Basingstoke or Reading

I often dream of trains till it gets light
The summer turns to winter overnight
The leaves fall so suddenly
The sun sets at four o'clock
Exactly what I'm dreading

I often dream of trains when I'm with you
I wonder if you dream about them, too
Maybe we'll meet one night
Out in the corridor
I'm waiting for you, baby

Baby baby baby
