about

Sometimes expectation is all you have.....when it comes to love.

lyrics

Midnight Train

There goes that midnight train, while my shoes lay soaking in the rain
Outside the steps of another well-worn doorstep
The blankets are what keep me warm, not the stranger lying next to me
Love is just another imagination
What brings us here, leaves us cold like the fog closing through the dawn
Sometimes expectation is all you have

And I’m not waiting around
For some Juliet to be found
A sonnet sweetly sung
In this tragic little town
Where desperate lovers prey whenever the sun goes down

The years go by and all you learn, are the basic instincts that you’ve drawn
From a life spent catching up and never catching on
Let it all unwind tonight, shut out the fear, leave the fight
Catch a glimpse of the other side of life

And I’m not waiting around
For some Juliet to be found
A sonnet sweetly sung
In this tragic little town
Where desperate lovers prey whenever the sun goes down
Desperation breathes, when the sun goes down

Midnights closing in, let the games begin
Winers and losers they make the best of friends

And no one waits around in this tragic little town
There’s more Juliet’s been lost than have ever been found
Another tragedy’s staged, another sonnet drowned……..

Sometimes expectation is all you have

As with any journey there are bumps and cracks along the way. New single, Midnight Train releases Feb 12, 2024 ... more
