Nico On The Night Train

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
