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
