Breakfast on the Morning Tram

1 views

Lyrics

So here you are in this city
 With a shattered heart, it seems
 Though when you arrived you thought you'd have
 The holiday of your dreams
 You'd cry yourself to sleep if you could
 But you've been awake all night
 Well here's something that you need to do
 At the first hint of morning light
 Walk right across the deserted city
 To the Boulevard Amsterdam
 And wait there
 For what the citizens here
 Refer to as the Breakfast Tram
 Climb on board
 You'll soon manage
 To find at the far end of the carriage
 The most wonderful buffet
 There's everything you'd want to eat
 You can take a feast back to your seat
 Whatever you can fit onto your tray
 And the mist on the windows will start to fade
 As the sun climbs higher in the sky
 And you can sit back with your café au lait
 While outside the waking city clatters by
 So things didn't quite meet expectations
 But you're bound to conclude upon reflection
 There's no reason you should give a damn
 Just treat yourself
 To a cinnamon pancake
 Very soon you'll forget your heartache
 When you have breakfast on the morning tram
 It'll be quite quiet when you first get on
 But as that tram keeps moving along
 It'll fill with people starting on their day
 They'll be laughing and joking as they eat
 They'll be passing plates along the seats
 Your night of heartache will soon seem far away
 And even though you're a stranger
 They'll make you feel
 Right at home
 They'll be offering to refill your coffee
 They won't have you sitting there alone
 They've seen many others just like you
 And each one of them has had it happen too
 So just enjoy your scrambled eggs and ham
 Treat yourself
 To a cinnamon pancake
 Very soon you'll forget your heartache
 When you have breakfast on the morning tram
 And even though you're a stranger
 They'll make you feel
 Right at home
 They'll be offering to refill your coffee
 They won't have you sitting there alone
 'Cause they've seen many others just like you
 And each one of them has had it happen too
 So just enjoy your fresh croissant and jam
 And don't neglect the Belgian waffles
 You'll soon forget your troubles
 When you have breakfast on the morning tram
