The Metro (Live 1984)
I'm alone
Sitting with my empty glass
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the Metro
You wore white
Smiling as you took my hand
So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still I hurt
Oh, I can see you now
Smiling as I pulled away
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
I'll love you always filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the Metro
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro
I'm alone
Sitting with my broken glass
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies
Sorry
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next me
Riding on the Metro
Hello
Hi
You're all winners tonight
I propose a toast
To you even though I don't have a glass
For winning
And to Boston, for it's warm heart
Sitting with my empty glass
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the Metro
You wore white
Smiling as you took my hand
So removed
We spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still I hurt
Oh, I can see you now
Smiling as I pulled away
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
I'll love you always filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the Metro
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro
I'm alone
Sitting with my broken glass
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies
Sorry
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next me
Riding on the Metro
Hello
Hi
You're all winners tonight
I propose a toast
To you even though I don't have a glass
For winning
And to Boston, for it's warm heart
