a quarter moon is shining high
in union square
a sense of expectation
hanging in the air
i feel a change is coming
from somewhere deep inside
i walk into the station
and take you for a ride

l train
love train
l train
please take me to the end of the line

rising into darkness
deep below the ground
i feel somehow elated
by the screeching metal sound
and i look outside the window
at the world i leave behind
hiding in the shadows,
you gain speed in my mind

l train
love train
l train
please take me
till the end of the line
