Well the lights go down in brooklyn

As she's walking out the door

Oh and they're lining up like soldiers

Going off to fight the war

And all the colors look like fireworks

In skies she knew before.

But the nights can't hide the days

That the tears roll down her face

And the light hits those eyes

As she's dying to say

Just take me away.

Well l through fog that sits like blankets

And that's drowning out the glow

You can hear voices loud

And sing out a song nobody knows

But to her it sounds like home.

But the nights can't hide the days

That the tears roll down her face

And the light hits those eyes

As she's dying to say

Just take me away from all that I am

Just take me away from all that I am.

Well the fog sits like blankets

And it smothers the glow .

Cause the nights can't hide the days

That the tears roll down her face

And the light hits those eyes

As she's dying to say

That the nights can't hide the days

That the tears roll down her face

And the light hits those eyes

As she's dying to say

Just take me away from all that I am. [x4]
