We saw the times We wrote the songs of cafe bars And midnight chimes In perfect rhymes That danced with melodies in song We sang the times
We paid our dues We took the road and played the game Of win or lose We chose the muse She led us on in neon lights Of midnight hues
And through it all The rise and fall The come and go, the lost and won We made our way And took the day We marched to rhythms of our own And travelled on
A single star That seemed to hang on the horizon From afar A perfect star A city streetlight in the night This was our star
And through it all The rise and fall The come and go, the lost and won We made our way And took the day We marched to rhythms of our own And travelled on
For those we knew The ones we lost along the way The chosen few They left too soon But we're the ones who'll carry on For those we knew
And through it all The rise and fall The come and go, the lost and won We made our way And took the day We marched to rhythms of our own And travelled on
