The City Sleeps

Babe have you seen those leaves on the ground
At first they shone from the pavement in gold red and brown
And they've been trampled on and ridden over

And they're just sludge lying around
And I think it's time to leave this town

The trees whisper secrets of summer's love affairs
Of the carelessness tomfoolery that happened everywhere
But as the doors close
And the wind blows
The city sleeps
And the sky weeps
And I know I know
I know it's time to leave this town
Oh no you won't see me hanging around

But babe I'll be back
When the sun starts to seep through the leaves
When I can sing you a song
As you sing along
On these magic berlin streets
With our night riding
Midnight gliding
Morning dancing
Pavement prancing
You know oh you know
You know I'll be back to live this town
Oh you know I'll be back to love this town.
