Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn
Cold city lights glowin'
The traffic of life is flowin'
Out over the rivers and on into dark

I'm goin' down town where there's music
I'm goin' where voices fill the air
Maybe there's someone waitin' for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I'm goin' down town where there's people
The loneliness hangs in the air
With no-one there real waitin' for me
No smile, no flower, nowhere

Cold city lights glowin'
The traffic of life is flowin'
Out over the rivers and on into dark
Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
And don't let the shadows hold back the dawn

I'm goin' down town where there's music
I'm goin' where voices fill the air
Maybe there's someone waitin' for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I'm goin' down town 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
