Brave Combo – Song Of The Night Cafe lyrics

Darkness buys its friend a drink
Noise and smoke get up to dance
Melancholy calls the tune
The moon slivers in to a lonely table
She's humming a memory
While she's counting the hours
The stars drifting by
Seem to join the chorus
The song of the night cafe

And the sun takes the last train
And heads out of town
As the street lamps rub sleep from their eyes
And an easter parade of the lost and the lonely
Awake to a dark lullaby
Candles blink back endless tears
Dreams and wishes call it a day
Sorrow wanders through the streets
The wind whistles in, in a sad old rain coat
He's hiding a heartbreak
In a slouching fedora
The stars drifting by lend a mute ovation
The song of the night cafe
