Lyrics Mark Lanegan

Mark Lanegan

Deep Black Vanishing Train

Yellow moon keep hanging there

And don't you ever come down

Tattered newspaper pages

Are scattered across the ground

Lost on a violent sea

Gone for endless days

I have tried to free myself

But it's been hard to break away

So long light, you're bound to fall

Now isn't that a shame

Casting shadows on the wall

Too late to learn another game

Transfixed by what isn't seen

And what will never change

The times I've tried to free myself

It's been hard to look away

It's a deep black vanishing train

Upon a very long track

Standing on a sidewalk in the rain

Hands behind my back

Lost on a violent sea

Day on endless day

I have finally freed myself

But it's been hard to break away
