Sound of the City Night

Midnight's bell in the distance tolls
Down the line a whistle blows
Headlights shine through the window pane
Listen to the tires hissing in the rain
Radio plays, the guitar strums
And the city's heart, night's engine hums
Everyday they turn off the light,
Listen to the sound of the city night
There's a million dreams on the city streets
And every dream has a heart beat.
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
As the night's cold needle slips
Through twilight's dusky seams
And the sounds of the city night

The sounds of the city night

The sounds of the city night

Echo through our dreams
The still of night away so far
On city streets beneath unknown stars

And right beyond all that I can see
Some silly moon shining down on you and me
A photograph, a memory
A picture that I hold with me
A twilight slips a crimson scale
I see your face, your eyes aflame
I hear your voice so far away
And close to me I hear you say
Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid

As the embers of the dying sun scorch your raven hand
Night lets fall a starry show
Night lets fall a starry show

Night lets fall a starry show


Across your shoulders bare
