Mike Heron - Transiberian Express lyrics



A relationship was being ended.

She sent me a book - "Famous freezing cold railway journeys",

Instead of a hint, what I got was an intimate

knowledge of the Transiberian route!

Following up with, "Wheels across the Steppes"

I felt myself trundling through the crisp snow

and I could have introduced you to the

population of Urkutz station by "Chuffing into hostile terrain".

Oh how I knew, it, I could see there was a change.

It was written in your eyes. It was - oh written across your face

And when you told me I saw flashin' of a flag,

Heard the rollin' wheels beneath me.

I swear that I was movin'

There by your side but so far away

Mercury drops, there's nothing to say

chorus:

I can't hold this room still

Got the towns flashin' by

Got the faces at the stations

It's colder so much colder now

And I just can't stop this Transibeflan Express,

Transiberian Express.

And you bought it, you bought my ticket, ticket

Through the pine trees and they're whisperin' of blood

In the field of my vision I got samovars and overcoats

Into Kirov there's a pink stare of daybreak

Falling over the town.

Then I can hear your voice

"Only one thing more" and you tell me 'bout him

"Only one thing more" but the train is speeding

chorus:

Thirteen hundred miles from Moscow, snow is everywhere.

We could have been so warm together.

Instead you put me here

Will I be travelling on this line for evermore

Through forest, steppes and hills,

Through Perm and Omsk and Urkutz

And at my soul the loss of you.

Feeling at my core the grip of winter

chorus:
