Song Description

On her way to the only place of safety and solace, Café Gargoyle, a girl encounters heartbreaking scenes: homeless people, merchant standing below his shattered sign, relationship abuse, and a child dealing drugs.

Lyrics

verse 1:
down a city street at night she hurries toward a distant light
while midnight tolls its miseries, she shields her eyes from what she sees

stairs descend angry walls/escape from domestic brawls
the glass breaks the merchant's spine beneath the staring sign

pre-chorus:
who cares on streets so mean?
only fools try to intervene
what good could one man do?
it's best that she walk on through

chorus:
when nobody cares, go there
café gargoyle

verse 2:
could she ever understand the boy who deals, he's only ten
the man shrouded in a cardboard home/whose hunger drones

pre-chorus 2:
who loves on streets so mean?
crack is life's vaccine
don't ever attempt to fight the uncompromising night

chorus 2:
when love is lost you'll cross
café gargoyle
when nobody cares, go there
café gargoyle

bridge:
rainy windows, café gargoyle
'round the corner, down at the end of the street

verse 3:
before dawn dispels her strife, she swallows all the pain she's seen
down through the coffee cups of life she reconciles with hope again
