Cafe Europa
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They fired off the first shot
So we're on our feet and running
We're re-writing all the text books
In the process of becoming
We've so much to live for
If we stop putting up a fight
There's a place for every story
And this one starts with us tonight
Let me take you down
To Café Europa
There's so much to be found
So much to discover
Let me take you down
To Café Europa
There's so much to be found
I won't let you down
We're travelling by moonlight
From London to the Highlands
We lose ourselves in inner cities
In the hope of re-defining
The space that surrounds us
Or the emptiness within
It's all in the papers
The boy's in love again
Always arriving
Headlights lit up from coast to coast
Empty days, full bursting
With the names of the people and places
We miss the most
I'm taking the last train
Flying the last flight
Calling on the angels
They're letting in the sunlight
Let me take you down
To Café Europa
There's so much to be found
So much to discover
Let me take you down
To Café Europa
There's so much to be found
I won't let you down
Let me take you down to Café Europa
Let me take you down to Café Europa
It's the heart that has been broken
Finds the truth in what is spoken
