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 innside 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
