Al Stewart - Night Train To Munich

Meet me at the station underneath the clock


Carry an umbrella, no need to talk


The man in the homburg, hding in the fog


Will be watching


Get yourself a ticket, go through the gate


At seven forty-five precisely, don't be late


If anybody follows don't hesitate


Keep on walking



And take the night train to Munich


Rumbling down the track


After half an hour in the restaurant car


Look for the conductor


And there will be a stain on his tunic


A paper underneath his arm


Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away


Or you'll never, never, never come back.



When you get the paper take a look inside


On page twenty-seven there's a photo of a bride


Underneath the story of a man who died


In Morocco


Memorize the article word for word


The man in the homburg understands the code


Make sure the conversation isn't overheard


They're around you



And take the night train to Munich


Rumbling down the track


After half an hour in the restaurant car


Look for the conductor


And there will be a stain on his tunic


A paper underneath his arm


Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away


Or you'll never, never, never come back.



I really wouldn't ask if there was anybody else


But I now you've got the knack of taking care of yourself


And they don't know your face so there won't be anyone


Looking for you


When you get to Munich we'll be waiting in the car


Don't look around, just walk straight out


If you don't show, I'm sorry for the pain


I caused you



Upon the night train to Munich


Rumbling down the track


After half an hour in the restaurant car


Look for the conductor


And there will be a stain on his tunic


A paper underneath his arm


Then you'd better pray that he doesn't look away


Or you'll never, never, never come back
