On the long ride to Munich
I was glad to be alone
I saw the future like a blanket
On the foggy mountain roads
When it was too late to go back
And too early to call home I thought
Everyone I love is asleep out there
And I've got all of this new life I've gotta put somewhere
I've gotta put somewhere
A man who's name I can't pronounce
And a waitress he'd once loved
Took me dancing in a part of town
That they were both fond of
When it was too late to go back
And I had nowhere to call home I thought
Everyone they love is asleep out there
And I'm just passing through on my way somewhere
On my way somewhere
Here comes the little sadness
Here comes the little sadness again
'Cause you can't take it with you
But for a moment I'll pretend
You can't take it with you in the end
On the night of some election
We were walking in the park
It was dusk and there were people out
Guns strapped upon the guards
I was noticed by some strangers
As they waited for the train
Someone was talking about America and asked me to explain
I said everyone I love is asleep out there
And I forgot I have a life of my own somewhere
Here comes the little sadness
Here comes the little sadness again
Like a story I won't tell you
Like a letter I can't send
Because you can't take it with you in the end
