If you’ve ever been in bed with the covers pulled up over your head and you’ve counted so many sheep you think you live in a farm
and your mouth is terribly dry and you feel like you wanna die
there ain’t nowhere in town that’s open till the break of dawn
Chorus
And Time it moves so slow when you got no place to go
and night looks as if it’ll never end
and the clock with its deafening tick makes you toss and turn until you’re sick
you’re on the late-night slow train to dawn
And the whiskey bottle is empty you went and drunk yourself plenty
you’ve waked up and you’re all alone
your watch it seems to have stopped but it tells the same time as the clock
they say it’s darkest just before the break of dawn
Chorus
And time it moves so slow when you got no place to go
and night looks as if it’ll never end
and the clock with its deafening tick makes you toss and turn until you’re sick
you’re on the late-night slow train to dawn
And you swear that it’s the last time ‘cause you know that you’re losing your mind one more day than you’ll give it up for good
but you know that by seven o clock all your good intentions will be forgot and you’ll be riding on that train till the break of dawn
Chorus
And time it moves so slow when you got no place to go
and night looks as if it’ll never end
and the clock with its deafening tick makes you toss and turn until you’re sick
you’re on the late-night slow train to dawn
Solo
With your body covered in sweat you light another cigarette your hands shakin’ so much you nearly get burnt and you start to say your prayers but don’t believe that they’re gonna get heard you’re prayin’ to see the light at the break of dawn
And time it moves so slow when you got no place to go
and night looks as if it’ll never end
and the clock with its deafening tick makes you toss and turn until you’re sick
you’re on the late-night slow train to dawn
Repeat Chorus
you’re on the late-night slow train to dawn you’re on that late-night slow train to dawn
