When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh
So you think you’re lonely
Well my friend i’m lonely too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Ooh, ooh
It’s sad, oh there’s been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my
It’s been a mystery and still they try to see
Why somethin’ good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street, the taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way
One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who’s cryin’ now
Two hearts born to run
Who’ll be the lonely one
I wonder, who’s cryin’ now
So many stormy nights, so many wrongs or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover’s rage, they tore another page
The fightin’ is worth the love they save…
(chorus)
Only so many tears you can cry
‘til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die
(chorus)
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh
So you think you’re lonely
Well my friend i’m lonely too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Ooh, ooh
It’s sad, oh there’s been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh
So you think you’re lonely
Well my friend i’m lonely too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Ooh, ooh
It’s sad, oh there’s been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh
So you think you’re lonely
Well my friend i’m lonely too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Ooh, ooh
It’s sad, oh there’s been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my
When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my city
Ooh, ooh
So you think you’re lonely
Well my friend i’m lonely too
I want to get back to my city by the bay
Ooh, ooh
It’s sad, oh there’s been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my
The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and daylight fades
Ignore the voices discard the day
For the brand new darkness for the bright new way
Hit
Well there have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand
Emerald signal the green on black
The lights say move say never look back
And so I find a place where I’ve never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again
Where the emerald glistens through the rain
The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades
But there’s a voice in the distance quiet and clear
Saying something that I never ever wanted to hear
Well there have been better plans
But none that I could ever understand
I see the emerald signal see the green on black
I see the light say move say never look back
And so I find another place where I’ll never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again
Where the emerald glistens through the rain rain rain
And I’m happy here
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain rain rain
I’m happy here
In the rain
Where the emerald
Glistens
Through the rain
What kind of song would you give
If you had a song to give
What kind of life would you live
If you had a life to live
Would you wanna make something good, that you could look on
Give you lots of pleasure, yeah you would
What about this thing that you gave
What if it weren’t quite perfect
What about if it was something bad about it
Would you love it just the same
Would you still care about it
Chorus:
The lights on the city looks so good
Almost like somebody thought they would
Thought they would
What kind of song would you sing
If you had a song to sing
What kind of life would you live
If you had a life to live
Would you wanna make something good, that you could look on
Give you lots of pleasure, yeah you would
(chorus)
(verse 2)
The lights on the city looks so good
Almost like somebody thought they would
(chorus)
