Текст песни Twenty Five To Midnight, Sting

If your whistle can blow Fifteen miles down the track Tell them I m coming back Counting poles counting sheep Don t be slow I won t weep If your wheels on the line Were to put me on time Just a year to the day Since I went upon my way To seek my fortune and fame Be a star change my name And that s it more or less Til this midnight express I know I can t be late Cause she said she won t wait She ll just go marry Jack So there s no turning back And it s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track Band I had got a break Just one chance we had to take Told my girl I d be back Left her with my friend Jack New York City for a spell Things didn t turn out so well Every dive that we played We were lucky we got paid Mr Train driver please If your speed you increase Every cent I have now Will be yours this I vow And that s it more or less Til this midnight express I know I can t be late Cause she said she won t wait She ll just go marry Jack So there s no turning back And it s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track We called ourselves the Latino Lovers Hawaiian shirts and top forty covers I didn t think I could sink this low When drugs and booze ate all my dough This isn t how it was meant to be There s no such thing as a meal that s free If I was ever to get out alive I have to get home on time Train I ride don t be slow If your whistle can blow Fifteen miles down the track Tell them I m coming back And that s it more or less Til this midnight express I know I can t be late Cause she said she won t wait She ll just go marry Jack So there s no turning back And it s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track And it s 25 to midnight and fifteen miles of track |
