Lyrics

They fired off the first shot
So we're on our feet and running
We're re-writing all the textbooks
In the process of becomming
There's 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 cafe europa
There's so much to be found
So much to discover
Let me take you down
To cafe europa
There's so much to be found
I won't let you dowm

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
What an 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 to bursting
With the names of the people and places
We miss the most

I'm taking the last train
Flying the last flight
I'm calling on the angels
And letting in the sunlight

Let me take you down
To cafe europa
There's so much to be found
So much to discover
Let me take you down
To cafe europa
There's so much to be found
I won't let you dowm
I won't let you down

Let me take you down
To cafe europa
To cafe europa
Theres so much to be found
So much to discover
Let me take you down
Cafe europa
Cafe europa

It's the heart that has been broken
Finds the truth in what is spoken
Cafe europa
Cafe europa
Let me take you down
