Song Lyrics

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
