Songtext Orient express Jay Jay Johanson

Orient express

We leave the station barely moving
And slowly begin to accelerate
So we raise our glasses for a last time
I don't remember what we celebrate

And we said our first hello
On the Orient Express
We got plenty of time to kill
And we sang and danced away
On the Orient Express
To the rhythm of the wheels of steel

I can hear them laughing
In the restaurant
You took me walking down the avenue
So we blow the candles
Make our wishes
How I wonder if they're ever coming true

And we said our first hello
On the Orient Express
We got plenty of time to kill
And we sang and danced away
On the Orient Express
To the rhythm of the wheels of steel

We're getting closer to hundred miles an hour
When I saw a figure standing on the rails
I start to panic as the train's approaching
It's too late to pull the breaks

And we said our first hello
On the Orient Express
We got plenty of time to kill
And we sang and danced away
On the Orient Express
To the rhythm of the wheels of steel

And we fell in love
On the Orient Express
On this never ending journey home
And we kissed our last goodbye
On the Orient Express
There's no turning back along the road
