Ghost Train Lyrics

Great song. I think its about a baby whose lost his mother ('riding on a ghost train') and now he can't ever get her back ('she keeps on riding') Also the fact that he lost her when he was young, ('some trains they just leave too soon') anyway, its a fantastic song.

Yeah, for some reason I always thought it was his wife, but you seem to be spot-on. Great tune...great example of a simple riff that turns into something deep.
