[Verse] You came in on the midnight run, steam on your coat, eyes like flares I waited by the switchyard gate, heart in my hands, not care You leaned in close, just for a second, said, “I’ll be gone by dawn” But your shadow stayed in my bones, pulled me under, gone, gone, gone [Pre-Chorus] The rails hum low, a lullaby in the cold We’re just ghosts in a freight train’s story, untold [Chorus] Whistle calls, we don’t say goodbye Just a breath between the freight and the sky Love like freight — heavy, long, and wild Swept in the wind, not even a mile You’re a train I’ll never ride, but I still know your sound Aching like the night, lost in the ground [Verse] You wore red at the cross track, a signal I could read I traced your name on the boxcar, where the paint had bled One kiss in the hush after shift, one song in a broken line And the world turned slow — not a soul in sight, just you and me in time [Pre-Chorus] The wind hums low, a tune we made A love that only time can take [Chorus] Whistle calls, we don’t say goodbye Just a breath between the freight and the sky Love like freight — heavy, long, and wild Swept in the wind, not even a mile You’re a train I’ll never ride, but I still know your sound Aching like the night, lost in the ground [Bridge] If I could ride the last car, I’d hold you through the storm Even if we never reach a name, just the rhythm, the form We’re not lovers, we’re echoes — two sparks in a steel-bound sky One train pulls on, one stays behind… but never say goodbye [Chorus] Whistle calls, we don’t say goodbye Just a breath between the freight and the sky Love like freight — heavy, long, and wild Swept in the wind, not even a mile You’re a train I’ll never ride, but I still know your sound Aching like the night, lost in the ground [Outro] Whistle calls… Lost in the sound… No name… Just a train… And me… And you… Always…
