| Big City Night
Zipping up your coat, heading home
Through the Big City Night
Always someone with something to sell
Down by the red lights
At the bar with a cigarette
In the Lonely Hearts Club
There’s a way out by going in
Just give in and give up
You turn the key to an empty flat
Go wash your face
Between these walls there’s a life to replace
This is not what you wanted
You long to fall into the well of sleep
A dreamless one
Send the sound of a broken heart
Into oblivion
Wake up to the sounds from the street below
Find the world is new
As if yesterday had been washed away
By the morning dew
You’d get up and pick your favourite dress
Go wash your face
And find yourself in a different place
More like you wanted
Rippling water glimmers in the light
And at the foot of a hill lies a house
Like in a dream
