The City Sleeps
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Babe, have you seen those leaves on the ground
At first they shone from the pavement in gold red and brown
And they've been trampled on and ridden over
And they're just sludge lying around
And I think it's time to leave this town
The trees whisper secrets of summer's love affairs
Of the carelessness tomfoolery that happened everywhere
But as the doors close
And the wind blows
The city sleeps
And the sky weeps
And I know, I know
I know it's time to leave this town
Oh no you won't see me hanging around
But babe I'll be back
When the sun starts to seep through the leaves
When I can sing you a song
As you sing along
On these magic Berlin streets
With our night riding
Midnight gliding
Morning dancing
Pavement prancing
You know, oh you know
You know I'll be back to live this town
Oh you know I'll be back to love this town
