The Sad Cafe / The Eagles

 

 

 

     The Sad Cafe / Eagles

 

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 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 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
