The Sad Cafe

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 remember 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 croud 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

But 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

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
