about

In all the travelling I've done, I've often found myself sitting next to a complete stranger, listening to them pour their heart out to me. Perhaps knowing that when we reach our destination we'll never see each other again and never even know each other's name gives them the confidence to say things they wouldn't say to their nearest and dearest...

lyrics

Stranger on a Train

I’m just a stranger on a train,
Across the aisle, I sense your silent pain,
Restless hands and haunted eyes
Lost in private grief,
I look away, and soon I fall asleep.

I’m just a stranger on a train,
I jolt awake and feel you glance my way,
Then suddenly you start to talk
Like I’m your closest friend,
The only one on earth who’ll understand.

I’m just a stranger on a train,
A sympathetic listener with no name,
Just a stranger on a train,
Someone you’ll never ever see again.

I’m just a stranger on a train,
A random soul who hears your bitter tale
Of love destroyed by jealousy,
A fight and deep remorse,
Two lives not lived together anymore.

I’m just a stranger on a train,
A sympathetic listener with no name,
Just a stranger on a train,
Someone you’ll never ever see again.

I reach my destination,
Wish you well, and then I go,
How your story ends,
I’ll never know.

Just a stranger on a train,
A sympathetic listener with no name,
Just a stranger on a train,
Someone you’ll never ever see again,
Someone you’ll never ever see again.
