lyrics

There are night trains waiting for us
And we have been waiting too much
But tonight we will cross the night of Europe

You will take your train in Prague
I will take my train in Paris
We will meet for breakfast in Copenhague

Now the engine starts my train is moving east
And the city gives way to a tangle of meadows
And the shimmering sun soon will leave me with the night
The night, the night, on the rails

We have taken too much for granted
And we are forgetting fast
How the night of Europe was darker than the death

It was not so long ago
Mournful wagons empty of hope
Concealing the shame of a continent

But now the engine starts your train is moving west
And you see a pond with lily pads and duckweed
And a wooden shed disappearing in the night
The night, the night, on the rails

So nice to be with you in Copenhague
And with other lovely people too
We’ve travelled here with the flag of common sense

And tonight in the central station
We will wish farewell to the night train
Is the last one departing from here but we shall bring them back.

And the engine starts the train is moving south
Like an iron-made proof of care for nature
It should take a detour to Brussels where something could be done

Turning the night, turning the night, into a new day
Turning the night, turning the night, into a new day
