about

"Last Train" on Heather Hill's album "Leuty Station". When Heather was a teenage exchange student in Europe, she was chased home after getting off the last train. She remembers every detail of the footrace up a cold mountain surrounded by grapevines. The time had come for the song to surface after years of silence. Heather Hill wrote this song with Orville Heyn.

This song has elements of Tori Amos mixed with Santana and hints of prog rock.

lyrics

Last Train
by Heather Hill and Orville Heyn

Last train, end of a long day
Back of the car, piercing blue eyes
She feels them burn
Is it all in her head?

Last stop, an empty station
Icy hill, sleeping vineyard
Footsteps beating
Breaking snow

She runs so fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race
She runs so fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race
it’s now, It’s now, it’s now,
it’s now, It’s now, it’s now

Last crest, hill’s almost over
Hand reaches out, inches away
Breathe of red wine
Coat smells of smoke

Last hour, the church bell’s laughing
She feels the heat of his hand, near her face
Surge of speed
Tasting fright, screaming mercy

She runs so fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race
She runs so fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race
it’s now… It’s now, it’s now,
it’s now…It’s now, it’s now

To summon without intention
Relive without regret
I’m longing for a saviour
Still running to forget

She runs fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race
She runs fast, If ever there’s a time to win a race
it’s now… It’s now, it’s now,
it’s now…It’s now, it’s now
it’s now…It’s now, it’s now
