Coles Corner

Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn
Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
All over the rivers there none into dark

I'm going downtown where there's music
I'm going where voices fill the air
Maybe there's someone waitin' for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I'm going downtown where there's people
My loneliness hangs in the air
With no one there real waitin' for me
No smile, no flower, nowhere.

Cold city lights glowing

All over the rivers there none into dark
Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn

I'm going downtown where there's music
I'm going where voices fill the air
Maybe there's someone waitin' for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I'm going downtown where there's people
My loneliness hangs in the air
With no one there real waitin' for me
No smile, no flower, nowhere.

Hold back the night
