Lyrics:

When the day is done and there's nowhere to runbr /And the people of the city have all lost and wonbr /In your city dress you stand and starebr /And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hairbr /And the light that shinesbr /Paints a trace of sadnessbr /On the street I waitbr /But I can't seem to get to you.br /br /Well, you start to sway, check your cartierbr /'cos it's getting late, you can't afford to waitbr /So you move along where it's going onbr /And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawnbr /And the sun that shinesbr /Paints a trace of sadnessbr /In your eyes that crybr /Wishing and hopingbr /Oh...br /br /Chorus:br /Sweet, sweet is the nightbr /Now you are nearbr /Dark, dark were the daysbr /They disappearbr /Sweet, sweet is the nightbr /Now you are near.br /br /Well you did your thing and you lost your wingsbr /And you hurt so bad you lost everythingbr /And the tears that fall on the city wallbr /Will fade away with the rays of morning light that shinesbr /Paints a smile across your pretty facebr /I knowbr /Everything is alrightbr /Alright...br /br /Repeat chorus
