THE DOWNTOWN LIGHTS

Sometimes I walk away

When all I really wanna do

Is love and hold you right

There is just one thing I can say

It's all right, can't you see

The downtown lights

In love we're all the same

We're walking down an empty street

And with nobody callin' your name

Empty streets, empty nights

The downtown lights

How do I know you feel it

How do I know you feel it

How do I know you feel it

How do I know it's true

Can't you see

Nobody loves you this way

It's all right

Tonight and every night

Let's go walking down the city streets

Let's walk in the cool evening light

Wrong or right, the endless sight

The downtown lights

It will be all right

It will be all right

The downtown lights

Yeah, yeah, yeah

How do I know you feel it

How do I know you feel it

How do I know you feel it

How do I know it's true

Can't you see

Nobody loves you this way

It's all right

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Downtown lights

The neons and the cigarettes

The rented rooms and rented cars

The crowded streets, the empty bars

Chimneytops, trumpets

The golden lights, the loving prayers

Colored shoes, the empty trains

I'm tired of cryin' on the stairs

Downtown lights

It'll be all right

It'll be all right
