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're 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 hide that shore
Now that
Glory Train it don't stop here no more
Now I look at the years gone by
I don't know why fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free Hm
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change very slowly if they ever change
There's no use in asking why it just turned out that way
So meet me at midnight babe inside the
Sad Cafe
Why don't you meet me at midnight baby inside the
Sad Cafe
