Out...
in the shiny night
The rain was
softly falling
Tracks that ran down
the boulevard
Had all been
washed away
Out of the silver light
the past came
softly calling
And I remembered
the times we spent
inside the sad cafe
Oh it seemed like
a holy place
protected by
amazing grace
We would sing
right out loud
the things we
could not say
We thought we could
change this world
With words like
love and freedom
We were part
of the lonely crowd
inside the sad cafe
Oh... expecting to fly
We would meet
on that beautiful
shore in the sweet
by and by...
Some of the dreams
came true and some
just passed away
And some of them
stayed behind
inside the sad cafe
The clouds
rolled in
and hid that shore
Now that glory train
It don't stop
here no more
Now I look at
the years gone by
And wonder at
the powers that be
I don't know why
fortune smiles on some
And lets the rest
go free... hmm
Maybe the time
has drawn faces I recall
But things in this life
change very slowly
If they ever change at all
There's no use
in asking why
'cause it just
turned out that way
So meet me at midnight
baby inside the sad cafe
Why don't you meet me
at midnight baby
inside the sad cafe
