The city lights call out to me
Take me back where I long to be
No more pain, no more misery
And the city lights cry out to me
I've felt the night
I've seen the cold
I've touched the brittle bones
Growing old
I've seen the children bleeding in the streets
And those city lights
Oh lord, they cry out to me
Midnight falling all around
Faceless people stalk the ground
Loneliness rumbles down my street
And the city lights
Cry out to me
Lonely nights, broken dreams
Twilight falls and the moon, it screams
Reminding me it's time to leave
And the city lights
Oh Lord, they cry out to me
