Night Train is the first song from the fifth series dedicated to the engines working during the night. The song is based on the post train theme from the third series which in turn is partly based on Thomas' theme. A version of the song with completely different lyrics that was in fact not about night trains at all, but rather about Thomas and Percy entering a mine, was heard in the Thomas Saves The Day live show. The original song was later re-released with a new CGI music video as part of Thomas' YouTube World Tour on 30th September 2015.

Lyrics

Series 5 Version

See how the night sky glows,
See the light from the night train,
The fire glow from the night train.
On down the line he blows...
Woooooo-oooooo!!!
On down the line he blows.
All through the night he goes.
Hear the sound of the night train,
The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train.
Hear how his whistle blows...
Woooooo-oooooo!!!
Hear how his whistle blows.
Pulling, heaving, big engine breathing.
Pistons pushing side by side.
Driver checking, gauging, peering,
Fireman stoking by his side.
On down the line they go.
Fast track for the mail train,
Clear away for the post train.
Non-stop all night they go...
Woooooo-oooooo!!!
Non-stop all night they go.
See how the night sky glows.
Clear ahead for the night train,
Green light for the night train.
On down the track he blows...
Woooooo-oooooo!!!
On down the track he blows.
Dawn is breaking, sleepy town waking.
Children waving, watch him go.
Freight trains, milk trains,
Boat trains waiting,
Stand aside to let him go.
There in the morning glow
The sunlight on the night train,
Silhouettes the night train.
On down the line he blows...
Woooooo-oooooo!!!
There in the morning glow.
On down the line he blows
Hear the sound of the night train,
The chugga-chug-chugg of the night train.
Hear how his whistle blows...
Woooooo-oooooo!!!
Hear how his whistle blows.
On down the line he blows,
On down the line he blows.

Thomas Saves The Day

Into the mines we go
We're a little bit scared but
Now we're together
Together here we go (Woooo woooo!)
Together here we go
When you are all alone
The mine seems so scary
Dark, dark and so scary
Friendship will light the way (Woooo woooo!)
Friendship will light the way
Thomas leading, Percy shaking
Thomas bravely leads the way
Percy's nervous but he knows
With Thomas he will be okay
When you are all alone
The mine seems so scary
Dark, dark and so scary
Friendship will light the way (Woooo woooo!)
Friendship will light the way
Friendship will light the way
