Hold on
When the train is speeding through the midnight storm
And tell those boys back in town there will be a call
Hmmmmm train is comin'
Oooo hmmm train is comin'
Train is comin' your way
And it sound like it's nam'in (naming) the reasons
For forsak'in (foresaking) stations
That we passed in the dark
You'll hear your name being called when the whistle starts to blow hmmm
Just like that train in that film Dr. Zhivago
Hmmmmmm train is comin'
Oooohhh train is comin'
A train is comin' your way
Hear the track fade in
And awaken the sleepers
And breaking the promises that were made in the dark
You'll hear your name being called when the whistle starts to blow hmmm
Just like that train in that film Dr. Zhivago
Hmmmm train is coming
Ooooohmmm train is coming
Hmmmmm train is coming
Oooooh train is coming

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
