(4:41)
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
