Metroland |
| 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 |
