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.
