The Sad Cafe
Out in the shiny night, the rainwas softly fallingThe tracks that ran down the boulevard hadall been washed away
Out of the silver light, the past came softly callingAnd I remember the times we spentinside the Sad Cafe
Oh, it seemed like a holy place,protected by amazing graceAnd we would sing right out loud, thethings we could not sayWe thought we could change this worldwith words like "love" and "freedom"We were part of the lonely crowdInside the Sad Cafe
Oh, expecting to fly,we would meet on that shore in thesweet by and by
Some of their dreams came true,some just passed awayAnd some of the stayed behindinside the Sad Cafe.
The clouds rolled in and hid that shoreNow that Glory Train, it don't stop here no moreNow I look at the years gone by,and wonder at the powers that be.I don't know why fortune smiles on someand let's the rest go free
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recallBut things in this life change very slowly,if they ever change at allThere's no use in asking why,it just turned out that waySo meet me at midnight babyinside the Sad Cafe.Why don't you meet me at midnight baby,inside the Sad Cafe
