Lyrics Coles Corner - Richard Hawley

Coles Corner

Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don’t let the shadows hold back the dawn
Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
Out over the rivers and on into dark
I’m going down town where there’s music
I’m going where voices fill the air
Maybe there’s someone waiting for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I’m going down town where there’s people
The loneliness hangs in the air
With no-one there real waiting for me
No smile, no flower nowhere
Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
Out over the rivers and on into dark
Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don’t let the shadows hold back the dawn
I’m going down town where there’s music
I’m going where voices fill the air
Maybe there’s someone waiting for me
With a smile and a flower in her hair
I’m going down town where there’s people
The loneliness hangs in the air
With no one there real waiting for me
No smile, no flower nowhere
Hold back the night
