Midnight Train
She waited at the station
Standing in the rain
She was all alone with her sorrow
Waiting for the midnight train
I could see her heart was broken
As her tears mixed with the rain
I asked her who she was waiting for
Coming in on the midnight train
She said her son was coming home
He'd been fighting in Iraq
He went there on the Army plane
The midnight train brought his body back
