The Downtown Lights
Lyrics and Music: Paul Buchanan

 

Sometimes I walk away

When all I really wanna do is love an hold you right.

There is just one thing I can say…

Nobody loves you this way!

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 calling your name.

Empty streets, empty night.

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 on right, the endless sight…

The downtown lights.

It would be all right.

It would 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 crowed streets, the empty bars.

Chimney tops, trumpets.

The golden lights, the loving prayers.

Coloured shoes, try empty trains.

I’m tired of crying on the stairs…

Downtown lights.

 

It’ll be all right.

It’ll be all right.
