1. Out in the shiny night the rain was softly falling,
Dm E A
tracks that ran down the
boulevard had all been washed away.
Dm E A
Out of the silver night, the
past came softly calling,
Dm E A ~
and I remember the times we
spent, outside the Sad Café
A Dm E A
2. Oh, it seemed like a holy
place protected by amazing grace,
Dm E A
we would sing right out loud
those things we could not say.
Dm
Thought we could change this
world
E A
with words like love and
freedom,
Dm E A
and we were part of the lonely
crowd outside the Sad Café.

Oh, expecting to fly,
F#m Bm - E
we would meet on that
beautiful shore in the sweet by and by.
A Dm E A
2. Some of our dreams came
true and some just passed away,
Dm E A
and some of them stayed behind inside the Sad Café.
A - Dm

The clouds roll in, hit 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.

3. And maybe the time has
gone, the faces I recall,
Dm E A
but things in this life change
very slowly, if they ever change at all.
Dm E A
There's no use in asking why,
it just turned out that way,
Dm E A
so meet me at
Dm E A
Why don't you meet me at
