|
Yearning we were yearning |
|
Green light blinding on the rail |
|
Burning we were burning |
|
And the line unwinding to the Holy Grail |
|
To the future gleaming on a blue horizon |
|
And a golden girl on golden sand |
|
Dreaming fantasizing |
|
In another world from Metroland |
|
I've danced in rain and I've been Django |
|
And I've got laid |
|
I've been a rolling stone |
|
I've been Verlaine |
|
And I've been Rimbaud |
|
Not afraid to walk alone |
|
And now I take my midnight ramble |
|
Do I fold or play what's in my hand |
|
What's at stake and what's the gamble |
|
Do I stay in Metroland |
|
Dreams yesterday's laughter |
|
Ghosts and lovers come back to play |
|
But dreams have a morning after |
|
And run for cover |
|
In the light of day |
|
I got something real worth holding on to |
|
I can belong to and understand |
|
I've made my deal |
|
I will go on to |
|
Make my peace with Metroland |
