Nico On the Night Train
Thought I saw you Nico, from the trams back window
Late on last Thursday night, underneath the street light

From the tram 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 falling
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 take a stand on a midnight night tram

A couple weeks slipped us past, on a tram near Dundas
Nico 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 take a stand on a midnight night tram

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 take a stand on a midnight night tram
