| One day I will be back in our old street
|
| Safe from the noise that’s falling around me
|
| And we’ll release this town from the people
|
| Who are trying to knock it down
|
| And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
|
| And there will be no sound
|
| Open the bars and open the markets
|
| Open the banks and open the churches
|
| And we’ll release this town from the people
|
| Who are trying to knock it down
|
| And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
|
| And there will be no sound
|
| We’ve been cowering so long
|
| Oh, what I would give, I ask so little
|
| Oh, what I would give to stand at the bus stop
|
| Or browse in a bookshop to sleep and always be still
|
| And we’ll release this town from the people
|
| Who are trying to knock it down
|
| And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
|
| And I will be set free from the people
|
| Who are trying to bury me
|
| And then only fireworks will light the sky at night
|
| For all the world can see |
