Nightime - Mary Black

City walls where the neon spits as it falls

Two dark shadows fade in the night

This is no place for love

And in the park where the streetlight kisses the dark

Silent waves and times they’re own

They’ll have their own way now

II

In the nighttime neon sunset leaps

Out of the heart of the city streets

To the pavement where the dancing girls go down

To another world

Where the bright lights always sine

From the pale love and the painted face

Cheap disguises of another race

Where the sweet life and the flowing wine makes me

Light in my head Dan takes the trouble off my mind

But I know that goes so far

We could be like lovers too dancing in this frozen room

Hold me, hold me, stand so close

Take the time don’t leave, don’t leave me here there’s danger

III

I heard the voices in the night, flashing in the hills

The smell of burning on the wind

We could be in danger from the strangers here inside

From the glory in their lives

And the passion in their eyes

Chorus & repeat II
