Thought I saw you Nico From the train's back window Late on last Thursday night Underneath the streetlight
From the train it looked like You'd been there the whole night A whisper in the midnight That vanishes with daylight December's cold was calling And the snow was calling I thought as I rode back home Why was she all alone
Nico, you know I'm not your man, I know that You can't take a stand On a midnight night train
A couple weeks slipped us past On the train near Dundas She got on at that stop And as she sat down I thought A lot of friends were talking About Nico's late night walking Lately you've been acting funny Where'd you get that money?
Nico, you know I'm not your man, I know that You can't take a stand On a midnight night train
I moved a few seats over And as I brushed her shoulder She said, "don't I know you?" Yeah, we had friends in high school And as my stop got closer I turned my back towards her I don't know why I did that I wish I had told her that
Nico, you know I'm not your man, I know that You can't take a stand On a midnight night train
