Notice the fall of the city Please watch it closely The sun outside shining The moon also hanging The years start to gather Your dreams start to tatter Your tears busy fuelling this song I'm singing tonight Through those hopeless nights I wander alone Through those hopeless nights You hold me hand Happiness a distance we'll never see This cool fall night only confuses me At night when we should be sleeping I lie awake and hear you weeping About all the things you ever wanted About all the things that now haunt you The years start to gather your dreams start to tatter Your tears busy fuelling this song I'm singing tonight Through those hopeless nights I wander alone Through those hopeless nights you hold my hand Happiness a distance we'll never see This cool fall night hanging over me
