[Verse 1]
Am G C
Yearning we were yearning
F G C F
Green light blinding on the rail
Am G C
Burning we were burning

And the line unwinding to the Holy Grail

Am G C
I've danced in rain and I've been Django

Am G C
Dreams yesterday's laughter
F G C F
Ghosts and lovers come back to play
Am G C
But dreams have a morning after

And run for cover in the light of day

I got something real worth holding on to
G F C G
I can belong to and understand
Am G C
I've made my deal I will go on to
F G C F C F
Make my peace with 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 Metro-land
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 Metro-land?
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 Metro-land
