	A Tribute to the memory of 9/11 out of the experience of the artist and the composer.
	Story Behind the Song This song was inspired by the eerie sight of a New York Subway train immobilized as a result of the 9/11 disaster. The melody and words of the chorus actually occurred to the composer while awaiting a train to return home at night. Lyrics Under The Ruins lies a subway car Despondent and alone Covered in dust and grime and frozen in time The car that used to take me home Its late at night, and I'm waiting for the regular rumble round the bend Looking for lights from some on-coming train that will stand in for its lonely friend Chorus: Night car, come carry me home Come carry me home, come carry me home Night car, come carry me home Come carry me home to sleep My car was there when the world up above Was shattered and dismayed When from its tomb there mushroomed a great love As never was before displayed ... Such noble valor in the land of the brave Such selfless sacrifice ... Duty defied the ravenous grave And paid the ultimate in price Chorus I know you'd open your door (If you could) Take in a thousand or more (I know you would) Evacuate the city Take everybody home safely Chorus
