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
Ive danced in rain and Ive been Django
And Ive got laid
Ive been a rolling stone
Ive been Verlaine
And Ive been Rimbaud
Not afraid to walk alone
And now I take my midnight ramble
Do I fold or play whats in my hand
Whats at stake and whats the gamble
Do I stay in Metroland
Dreams yesterdays 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
Ive made my deal
I will go on to
Make my peace with Metroland
