Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn
Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
All over the rivers there none into dark

I'm going downtown where there's music
I'm going where voices fill the air
Maybe there’s someone waitin' for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I'm going downtown where there's people
My loneliness hangs in the air
With no one there real waitin' for me
No smile, no flower, nowhere.

Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
All over the rivers there none into dark
Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn

I'm going downtown where there's music
I'm going where voices fill the air
Maybe there’s someone waitin' for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I'm going downtown where there's people
My loneliness hangs in the air
With no one there real waitin' for me
No smile, no flower, nowhere.

Hold back the night

Walking silent through the snow
Drifting softly to your door,
I'm coming home, I'm coming home.

I feel so strange, I feel so weak
I've walked a world of empty streets
In search alone, I've searched alone.

But you're still in my mind
You're still in my mind
And here's where the sound
Of my tears hits the ground
Just like the rain
Just like the rain.

When we walked along the shore
My darkness shaded, all we saw
I was unkind, I was unkind

I feel so strange, I feel so weak
I've walked a world of empty streets
In search alone, I've searched alone.

But you're still in my mind
You're still in my mind
And here's where the sound
Of my tears hits the ground
Just like the rain
Just like the rain.

(solo)

But you're still in my mind
You're still in my mind
And here's where the sound
Of my tears hits the ground
Just like the rain
Just like the rain
Just like the rain
Just like the rain.

Ten thirty in this hotel room,
You and I locked in the gloom,
Lost out of love once again
But I've got you here with me friend

(Chorus)
Cos you're here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms

Last time I looked it was nine
You know that all things then were fine,
Now I've gone and lost it again
But I've got you here with me friend.

(Chorus)

(Solo)

You know that it's like leading a mild life
The clothes in my younger days were so wild
And it's time I met someone like you
And I hope to make certain that it's true

Last time I looked it was late
That's when I started to break
It's a long long way till the end
But I've got you here with me friend

Cos you're here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Here in my arms
Put you here in my arms
Here in my arms.

Darling, wait for me, by your gate,
In the evening light, ah I just can't wait
For I have to go, in the morning too soon
So honey don't you cry, I'll be back here soon.

So think of me, when you feel that moon
Oh it calls to me, as it calls to you

Darling wait for me, I'll be home then
When the autumn leaves, bring me back again
Darling wait for me, darling please wait
Till evening light, by your starlit gate

So think of me, when you feel that moon
Oh it calls to me, as it calls to you

That's all I ask of you, all i ask
Till I hold your hand, there'll be peace at last
Don't wait up till it's dark,
All those lonely hours that we're apart

Darling please
Darling please
Darling please
Darling please.

You lead me down, to the ocean
So lead me down, by the ocean

You know it's been a long time,
You always leave me tongue tied
And all this times for us
I love you just because

You lead me down, to the ocean
The world is fine, by the ocean

You know this time's for real
It helps the heart to heal
You know it breaks the seal of the talisman that harms
And so you look at me and need
The space that means as much to me

So lead me down, to the ocean
Our world is fine, by the ocean

You know the way it is in life, it's so hard to live up to
So why are you still dressed in your mourning suit
I assume, I assume

You'll lead me down, to the ocean
Don't leave me down, by the ocean
The ocean.

Here comes the wave, here comes the wave
Here comes the wave, down by the ocean

The ocean (repeat to fade)

What are you like? You've had a right life
And taken a long ride, but oh what a cost

And all of your life, staring at white lines
Reading the road signs, and oh what a loss

Sleeping late in the afternoon, playing your guitar

Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign

Sleeping late in the afternoon, staying out till dawn

Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign

Now your laying in the afterglow
And there's something that she wants to know
Are you going be the one to say
You belong to me, you belong to me

Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign

Sleeping late in the afternoon, playing your guitar

Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign
You've had a right life
Born under a bad sign
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Born under a bad sign
Born under a bad sign

Thinking, I've been thinking
You've seen me glide along this way before
This way before
Drugged by dawn I sleep alone

Lonely, I've been lonely
And I've asked my speechless shoes just were you are,
Just were you are
In search at dawn I sleep alone

mmmmmmm mmmmm etc

Deeper, I'm going deeper
Seeping below the darkest thoughts of man,
The thoughts of man
Through these thoughts I sleep alone
Through these thoughts I sleep alone

mmmmmmm mmmmm etc

Silence, only silence
Can take these words and ring my thoughts to you,
These thoughts to you
Through these thoughts I sleep alone
Through these thoughts I sleep alone
Drugged by dawn I sleep alone.

mmmmmm mmmmmm etc

Oh tonight, oh tonight, oh tonight
I got it really bad

Maybe I'll go out walking, don't feel like staying home
Might take the car up to the hills, and watch the city lights below

Yes tonight, ah tonight, oh tonight
I got it really bad

Maybe I should call her, ah but then she'll know
Just want to drive out into the night, and see where that road goes

Ah tonight, oh tonight, yes tonight
I'm feeling low

(band and baritone solo)

Ah the restlessness that's in me, don't do me any good
I know I really should stay home tonight, but I don't think that I could

Not tonight, not tonight, no not tonight
I got it really bad

Not tonight, not tonight, you won't find me tonight
I got it really bad

Don't look for me in fields of clover
I won't be there I won't get older
I must wait here holed up in my time

Don't search for me in fields of green
I'm not there I won't be seen
I'm wading through the waters of my time
I'm wading through the waters of my time

Don't look for me in lands of gold
I won't be there I won't get old
I'll hover like a frozen bird in time

Don't reach for me the stars are cold
My race is run my stories told
I'm wading through the waters of my time

Don't search for me in lands of gold
I won't be there I can't get old
Don't hope for me the stars have died
I've slipped into the past
Cos I'm wading through the waters of my time
Yes I'm wading through the waters of my time

Don't search for me in lands of gold
I won't be there I can't get old
Don't hope for me the stars have died
I've slipped into the past
Cos I'm wading through the waters of my time
Yes I'm wading through the waters of my time
mmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm
Yes I'm wading through the waters of my time.

Who's gonna shoe your pretty little feet
And who's gonna glove your little hands
And who's gonna kiss your ruby red lips
mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm

Papa's gonna shoe your pretty little feet
And mama's gonna glove your little hands
And I'm gonna kiss your ruby red lips
mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm

Who's gonna rock your little rocking chair
And who's gonna sing you to sleep
And who's gonna wipe away your little tears
mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm

Papa's gonna rock your little rocking chair
And mama's gonna sing you to sleep
And I will wipe away your little tears
mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm

Papa's gonna rock your little rockin chair
And mama's gonna sing you to sleep
And I will kiss your ruby red lips
mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm
And I will kiss your ruby red lips
mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm
