What I have always loved about this song (besides the vocals) is how the rhythm of the music mimics the sounds of a train going down the track. It teleports me into the song, into the train with the Trio to another time and place. And as we are about to arrive at our destination (end of the song) Linda ooooo's out the train whistle letting us know our journey is about to end. Just a lovely song to say the least. Top notch musicianship and creativity.TRIO - The Blue Traincompanion thread conservatism.freeforums.net/thread/7244/blue-train

"The Blue Train"
Watching the long faces Riding this run down track And the lost places From a dream that never brings them back And the sad truth is Nothing but a cold hard fact
I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train
Counting the burned bridges Trailing this rusted wreck As our back pages Scatter in the dust we left Like a pearl necklace Falling from around my neck
I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train
Away down the low road A ticket to an empty room A rendezvous unknown
I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade And I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train
I'm riding the blue train Over the miles yet to cover A ghost in a hurry to fade I'm taking it one way to nowhere Afraid you might be there To find me inside this blue train
