Darkness falling down
Bringing memories of warm summer nights
Filled with longing and regret
And the echoes of chances lost
Filled with wonder at the scale of it all
These city lights provide no comfort at all
You gave me songs to sing
Full of sweetness and light
And then you stole away again
You gave me songs to sing
Full of sweetness and light
And then you stole away
You stole away
Cigarettes and coffee
Providing comfort within these walls
Which encase the deceptions
And the realisation that there's nothing more
Than this, and we can never escape
No matter how hard we try
We can never escape
You gave me songs to sing
Full of shadows and light
And then you stole away again
You gave me songs to sing
Full of shadows and light
And then you stole away
You stole away
And when I'm alone I think of you
And when you're alone do you think of me
But now there's nothing left for us here
Darkness falls around us
Drawing curtains closed at the end of the play
We kiss, so politely
Say goodbye and walk away
