Night Train Lyrics

I think this is one of Winwood's best tracks. A great driving song, especially at....night.

My take is that it's about modern alienation and people searching for something elusive that never seems attainable. I'm guessing he may have based it on a train ride through Europe or some other real events.

"Use up a lifetime looking for the break of day" sums it all up for me.
