Downtown Lights Songtext
von The Blue Nile

Sometimes I walk away
When all I really wanna do
Is love and hold you right
There is just one thing I can say
Nobody loves you this way

It′s alright, can't you see?
The downtown lights

In love, we′re all the same
We're walking down an empty street
And with nobody, call 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?

Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
It′s alright


Tonight and every night
Let′s go walking down this empty street
Let's walk in the cool evening light

Wrong or right, be at my side
The downtown lights
It will be alright, it will be alright
The downtown lights
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?

It's alright, it′s alright
The downtown lights
Yeah-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?

Yeah-yeah-yeah
The downtown lights


The neons and the cigarettes, rented rooms and rented cars
The crowded streets, the empty bars
Chimney tops and trumpets, the golden lights, the loving prayers
The coloured shoes, the empty trains, I′m tired of crying on the stairs
The downtown lights

Hey-yeah
Hey-yeah
