Night Cafe
The saxophone man's tired when he plays his songin the morning at a quarter past four.
Night cafe, your tequila doesn't help for long,
today forgetting is a difficult chore.
Night cafe, my closest friend,
as always you have time for me.
You've witnessed many of my ups and downs,
and you've shared many friendships with me.
Maybe you also can recall
my Linda sitting on that chair.
Her name's still in lipstick on your wall,
we had a lot of fun, I swear.
Night cafe, night cafe,
and today in the heat of the night
it seems to me, night cafe,
as if I hear her laughter so bright.
Night cafe, night cafe,
can you feel the same like me?
Night cafe, I can still hear her say,
though I wasn't quite her type,
I'd anyhow be worth a try today.
We laughed, and I went along with her.
She didn't know what I loved about her,
nor did I, what she liked about me.
Maybe just somebody else's image,
which she always longed to see.
Night cafe, night cafe,
she lives without a safety net,
and I hope, night cafe
that life will never hurt her yet,
night cafe, night cafe,
and that she'll find what she's looking for.
One doesn't ask questions when it's time to go,
and at some point everyone is alone,
and only those, whose hearts are strong,
will win and conquer the throne.
Finally Kris Kristofferson sang
his song about Bobby McGee,
and when I saw her at the side of the street,
I wished I were a little like her.
Night cafe, night cafe,
she lives without a safety net,
and I hope, night cafe
that life will never hurt her yet,
night cafe, night cafe,
and that she'll find what she's looking for.
