- Out in the shiny night
the rain was softly falling
The 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
And 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 their dreams came true
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
-
- Maybe the time has drawn
the faces I recall
But things in this life
- change very slowly
If they ever change at all
-
- There's no use in asking why
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
-
- .................
