Turn around old man
It's me the reaper
The sands of your life has run down
The hour of deliverance
Strikes for you at last
I believe it won't be long

No more pain or agony
Let the final curtain fall
Just take my hand
And I'll show you the way
The way to the promised land
With nothing more to lose
We are leaving with the midnight train

Shine, may the memory of you shine
Shine, never fade away

On a screen behind closed eyes, his memories
Keep marching in parade
His standing at the doorstep to paradise
As the dawn begins to rise
In a long distant wind
He can hear the whistle blowing
From the midnight train

Shine, may the memory of you shine
Shine, never fade away

But to those I'm leaving behind
I want you all to know
To say goodbye is not easy
I'll miss you when I go
I'll miss you when I go

Shine, may the memory of you shine
Shine, never fade away
