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
