Thought I saw you Nico,
From a tram's back window
Late on last Thursday night,
Underneath a 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 but
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 her late night walking
Lately you've been acting funny,
Where'd you get your money?
Nico, you know, I'm not your man but
You can take a stand
On a midnight night tram
I moved a few seats over,
And as I brushed your 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 toward her
I don't know why I did that,
I wish I had said this back:
Nico, you know, I'm not your man but
You can take a stand
On a midnight night tram
