PINK MARTINI LYRICS - City Of Night

"City Of Night"



Well the sun’s going down

With its deep amber light

Embracing the town as we fall into night

To the silvery sound as the birds fly away

Getting ready for love

Getting out of the day



It is the city of night

It is the city if night

Leave the worries of day behind

And dream a new dream tonight



All the lands are a glow

All the lids painted red

And you wish you could take

That last thing you said

Well the night is a drum

Singing songs of delight

But when dawn comes along

Love is lost in the light



But in the city of night

Oh, in the city of night

Leave the troubles of day behind

And dream a new dream tonight
