One Night In The City

Oh Johnny was a dark child

He was promised to us all

But riders in the night, can lift you out of sight when they call, that's all

My Sally was a princess, and she was chosen for the crown

But chains can't stop the sound

Of one night in the city, one night looking pretty, yeah

Then someone opened doorways and Johnny slipped away

Running for the bright, where dark is always light, there's no day, no way

The princess saw the dark child and the dark child said her name

Come steal away, we'll play the game

Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me

I'm the bite I'm the bark, I'm the scream

I'm the poor, I'm the sure I'm the holy, I'm no pure

I can tell you tales you just might not believe

One night in the city

One night looking pretty

One night in the city

One night looking pretty

One night, one night, one night, one night, one night, one night

Yeah the children shared the wonder

Of the leather and the lace

But one child went away and one child stayed to play

For one night in the city

One night looking pretty yeah

One night in the city, one night touching pretty

But chains don't make a wall, and dreams lay where they fall

Dark is never night, when dreams make up the light

One night in the city

One night feeling pretty yeah

One night in the city, feeling pretty, pretty, pretty

Pretty in the city, one night in the city yeah, one night, one night

One night one night

One night in the city, one night one night

Oh one child went away

And one child stayed to play chains don't make a wall

Your dreams are made up where they fall one night in the city
