Lindisfarne
When The Night Comes Down
Clements
Darkness comes down on city, another day is done
Streetlights you up so pretty, you and me can have some kind of fun
But there's a light in the basement doorway, how's about you and me stick around
Take a chance you can have it all your way, if you tell me you'll stay
When the night comes down
Chorus:
And tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end
If you got the notion, I got the money to spend
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down
Say you'll be around, when the night comes down
Say let's go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down
See them all going from streets all their stuff & money to burn
They all know they're gonna get their business fixed
They're gonne have fun got nothing to learn
Some of them go home lonely, some of them will tear each other apart
Some of them like me and you will see it all
Just keep dancing to the beat of their heart
Chorus:
Tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end
If you got the notion, I got the money to spend
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down
Say you'll be around, when the night comes down
Say let's go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down
Instrumental: ( like 'say you'll be .... )
Some people go to the mountains, some people they go down to the sea
But there's one thing you know you can count on, you can always come downtown with me
And if you see a light from the doorway, you know I'm somewhere around
Or else I'll be somewhere up your way, would you let me stay
When the night comes down
Chorus:
Tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end
If you got the notion, I got the money to spend
We can keep it in motion, do it all over town
What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down
Say you'll be around, when the night comes down
Say let's go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down
Say you'll be around, when the night comes down
Say let's go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down
