Sorry about that Gurdit. The site I found this photo did not indicate who was the author.

Hi there. The poem you've quoted here is an original poem written by me, titled "The Night Train". You can find it on my website (with a few other poems) at For any more proof that you may require that this is my work, please get in touch with me through my website.

Go for it Skip. I never get many votes when I post a theme, but I enjoy doing it. I enjoy finding photos and putting them together to form a little story. To hell with votes ;-)

Doh, Typo, That's "Flag Decal". How embarrassing.

Even before John Prine there was the Buddy Morrow orchestra..their 'Night Train' was a big hit back in the early 50's....you can hear it on youtube...

Nice theme tonight connie, great poem too! these pics have that mysterious quality like your dark alley pics. I would like to do a sequence of golden retriever pics, since I have so many but they'd probably kick me outta here! :)

Generally considered folk rock. Night Train is from the Fair and Square CD I saw you All dolled up Singing a song in your pickup truck You put me on a morning train You put me on a morning train Ain't no need to explain You put me on a morning train Hey, Hey, Brother Ray What'd you mean by "what'd I say" You put me on a morning train You put me on a morning train Ain't no need to explain You put me on a morning train If it's gonna rain And I wish that it would Just go ahead and rain Get it over for good If there's really a hole in that big blue sky Then move it on over and let me by Constantinople is a mighty long word Got three more letters than mockingbird You put me on a morning train You put me on a morning train Ain't no need to explain You put me on a morning train I like you with your make-up on All dolled up Singing a song You put me on a morning train You put me on a morning train Ain't no need to explain You put me on a morning train He's a genius; been around for a while. Perhaps you remember Fag Decal.

Is John Prine a poet or....?

Actually I was thinking John Prine's Morning Train at first look.

NIGHT TRAIN Don’t close your eyes! Look up at the moon, the stars, the night sky, the auroras blushing – shy. Open your eyes, or miss the night sigh, the sound of sleep, the satisfaction deep. Now close your eyes, Come aboard the night train, Hold me by your side, Take me beyond time and ride, Watch colours come to life by the magic of your smile, We’ll fly over orange streams, In the night train of dreams.
