The Little Sparrow - The Midnight Ghost Train

It’s 3:34 in the morning

And I still haven’t gone to bed

I shake and scream and tug at my ears

From a song stuck in my head

I know that I have heard it before

And it’s notes they make me weep

This song comes burrowing through endless night

As I desperately try to sleep

Its tune is haunting and evil to me

My insides are starting to show

This brutal song keeps playin' on

And this is how it goes

Padam padam padam

Padam padam padam

I been a martyr witnessed hell

But never a horror like this

It’s paralyzing and breaks me down

Leaves a tightness in my chest

I fear that it’s the end of me

These chords they rip so deep

I can’t control the energy I get

When the notes begin to leap

It has a line that mellows out

And I can breathe one more breath

But then the bridge comes storming in

And this is what it says

Padam padam padam

Padam padam padam

How could music feel so free

And still take all that you have

I thought you were my savior once

But now I see you are my death

An unrequited love we have

I give it all at every show

But you take and take and bury my heart

And try to strip away my soul

I have a wife, I have two sons

But you snap them up in two

Padam padam padam, you scream

To this song my life I give to you

So I’ll sit here and pick the notes in my head

Across this beaten guitar

And I’ll continue throughout eternity

Because the end is still so far
