Lake Shore Limited

Lake Shore Limited

Rolling out of Boston on the noontime train

It’s snowing Christmas Day out on the frozen terrain

Heading through the Berkshires on the way to Chicago

We're gonna take this train as far as it will go

Worcester, Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo

My nose is cold and pressed against the pane don't you know

Hey what's that comin' around the bend ain't that Lake Erie

We're gonna stay up late until our minds are just too weary

Chorus

The mournful horn sounds look out up ahead

Traveling on the westbound Lake Shore Limited

As nighttime falls the rails keep tempo once again

Let's raise a glass this silent night and call on amen

Riding here the two of us alone we're incognito

gonna play along with the game until we hit Toledo

We're gaining speed hey can you read the signs flying by

I think that was just South Bend's fireworks in the sky

We'll soon be there don't have a care

And I can't help but wonder

Do you think they'll let us stay aboard a little while longer

Chorus

Bridge

We'll savor winter's landscape passing by us

The stillness of the beauty that surrounds us

The memories that we hold they will remind us

Once again

'Cause we're rolling out of Boston on the noontime train

It’s snowing Christmas Day out on the frozen terrain

Heading through the Berkshires on the way to Chicago

We're gonna take this train as far as it will go

Chorus
