(Per Gessle)
I take you down to a place you've never been
A heart in the city you have never seen
Your wine will last all night
behind those neon lights
just take me by the hand, here we go
Down at the Heartland Cafй
you're making friends that'll dream along
Heartland Cafй
the lights are always bright
And right before your eyes
she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more
Yes, come in from the night
and say goodbye to the pouring rain
Win a few games, have a few laughs and forget why you came
Let time just slip away
and I'll swear that someday you'll trade
your tomorrows for one single yesterday
Down at the Heartland Cafй
you're making friends that'll play along
Heartland Cafй
you can feel at ease
And gentle as a breeze
she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more
Winners and losers, we're all in the same show
Running and runnning again any way the wind will blow
If you like we can talk all night
until the morning light
or turn the card and ask for a song
Down at the Heartland Cafй
you're making friends that'll run along
Heartland Cafй
you're gonna have a good time
And for a nickle or a dime
she's singing that old song
'bout a lonely heart that's not alone no more
