Sometimes in the evening light
There's a touch of night in the sun's bright rays
Daydreams long out of touch
Replacement thoughts of nonesuch
Sitting in the whistle stop cafe
I know the reasons why it goes that way
And I know the reasons why I never stay
I know the reasons why I wrote 'The Day'
But I can't get my head round
All the love in my heart and the smiling disguise
The fear in my soul and my sympathetic eyes
I get myself together and I think of whether
I could really go out and do the things I can do
Be with the people that I really should
But then it's gone, the faces are gone
They're gone in a second, just disappear, they disappear
Sometimes she's the greatest star, sometimes not even there
But who's the real one, to think I don't even dare
Another lie is told as my brain begins to strain
I've wasted so much time on so many things I can't explain
Leaving the room, done it so many times before
Space out of mind, I hate this rug-infested floor
The shadows fall, no one to call
Bear the heel to spin, do it one more time again
Sometimes in the early dawn
When you've rolled along
With stars on display
Transient beams skip the rails
As the caffeine fails
In the whistle stop cafe
How many chances will I get?
How many times can she forget?
Until it’s gone
In the whistle-stop cafe
