Downtown Lights Lyrics

Sometimes I walk away
When all I really wanna do
Is love and hold you right,
There is just one thing I can say.
Nobody loves you this way it's alright,
Can't you see the downtown lights ?

In love we're all the same,
We're walking down an empty street.
And with nobody coming on the empty streets,
Empty nights, the downtown lights.

How do I know your feeling,
How do I know your feeling,
How do I know your feeling,
How do i know it's true ?
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
It's alright.

Tonight and every night
Let's go walking down this empty street,
Let's walk in the cool evening light,
Wrong or right, be at my side,
The downtown lights,
It will be alright, it will be alright,
The downtown lights, yeah yeah.

How do I know your feeling,
How do I know your feeling,
How do I know your feeling,
How do i know it's true.

It's alright, it's alright,
The downtown lights. Yeah yeah yeah.

How do I know your feeling,
How do I know your feeling,
How do I know your feeling,
How do I know your feeling.

Neon signs and cigarettes, rented rooms and rented cars,
The crowded streets, the empty bars
Chimney tops, the trumpets, the golden lights, the loving prayers.
Coloured shoes, the empty trains,
I'm tired of crying on the stairs.
The downtown lights.
