[00:38.098]Out in the shiny night the rain was softly falling
[00:48.180]The tracks that ran down the boulevard had
[00:51.748]all been washed away
[00:58.598]Out of the silver light the past came softly calling
[01:06.588]And I remember the times we spent
[01:10.449]inside the Sad Cafe
[01:18.529]Oh it seemed like a holy place
[01:22.409]protected by amazing grace
[01:28.229]And we would sing right out loud the
[01:31.719]things we could not say
[01:38.490]We thought we could change this world
[01:41.178]with words like "love" and "freedom"
[01:46.780]We were part of the lonely crowd
[01:50.890]Inside the Sad Cafe
[01:55.469]Oh, expecting to fly,
[02:04.178]we would meet on that shore in the sweet by and by
[02:15.270]Some of their dreams came true,
[02:18.890]some just passed away
[02:23.879]And some of the stayed behind
[02:27.999]inside the Sad Cafe.
[02:51.600]The clouds rolled in and hid that shore
[03:01.200]Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more
[03:10.600]Now I look at the years gone by,
[03:14.820]and wonder at the powers that be.
[03:19.578]I don't know why fortune smiles on some
[03:24.800]and let's the rest go free
[03:30.499]Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
[03:38.779]But things in this life change very slowly,
[03:42.709]if they ever change at all
[03:49.300]There's no use in asking why,
[03:52.220]it just turned out that way
[03:58.499]So meet me at midnight baby
[04:01.779]inside the Sad Cafe.
[04:06.999]Why don't you meet me at midnight baby,
[04:11.499]inside the Sad Cafe.
