Coles Corner Lyrics by Richard Hawley

Coles Corner

2005

[Verse 1]
Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn
[Verse 2]
Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
Out over the rivers and on into dark
[Chorus]
I'm going downtown 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
[Verse 2]
Cold city lights glowing
The traffic of life is flowing
Out over the rivers and on into dark
[Verse 1]
Hold back the night from us
Cherish the light for us
Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn
[Chorus]
I'm going downtown 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
My loneliness hangs in the air
With no one there real waiting for me
No smile, no flower nowhere
[Outro]
Hold back the night
