The Sad Cafe Lyrics

The Sad Cafe lyrics

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
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 shore in the
sweet by and
by

Some of their dreams came true,
some just passed away
And some
of the 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 let's 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.
