Nico On The Night Train Lyrics

Thought I saw you Nico

From the train's back window

Late on last
Thursday night

Underneath the streetlight



From the train it
looked like

You'd been there the whole night

A whisper in the
midnight

That vanishes with daylight

December's cold was
calling

And the snow was calling

I thought as I rode back home

Why was she all alone



Nico, you know

I'm not your man, I
know that

You can't take a stand

On a midnight night train



A couple weeks slipped us past

On the train near Dundas

She got on at that stop

And as she sat down I thought

A lot of
friends were talking

About Nico's late night walking

Lately you've
been acting funny

Where'd you get that money?



Nico, you
know

I'm not your man, I know that

You can't take a stand

On
a midnight night train



I moved a few seats over

And as I
brushed her shoulder

She said, "don't I know you?"

Yeah, we had
friends in high school

And as my stop got closer

I turned my back
towards her

I don't know why I did that

I wish I had told her
that



Nico, you know

I'm not your man, I know that

You
can't take a stand

On a midnight night train
