Cry from the Street Lyrics by David Gilmour

David Gilmour

1978

[Verse]
Black shadows dance beyond the neon glow
There's rumours in your head that just won't let go
They hold on so tight, it makes your blood run cold
Nailed in the night trying to save your soul
[Chorus]
Don't be afraid
It's just a cry from the street
[Verse]
It's fine to believe that what they keep, they own
So you've lost someone that you thought you owned
You know it's a crime, but what can you do?
That's the price you pay with each turn of the screw
[Chorus]
But don't pay no mind
It's just a cry from the street
[Verse]
The rhythm of the night, living on your love
It's such a crying shame that things got so rough
As the sirens scream, through your blinds, you peep
I guess the chances are you wish you'd stayed asleep
[Chorus]
Don't be afraid
It's just a cry from the street
