Intro

x7

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
