City Won’t Sleep Lyrics by Tomo Nakayama

Melonday

2020

[Chorus]
Stop, there’s a little light gleaming
Stop, in the ground below
Stop, can you hear my heart beating?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 1]
Bright lights, the city won’t sleep and
Bright lights, I’m waiting for someone
Late night’s just a little bit colder
I hold my hand into the air
We're a long, long way from home
Oh yeah, I’m a long, long way from home
[Verse 2]
First flight, I’m racing down Broadway
Face right, I’m looking for someone
Right now, the people are hard but
Each one's just bursting at the seams
Came a long, long way to be
Oh yeah, came such a long, long way to be
[Chorus]
Stop, there’s a little light gleaming
Stop, in the ground below
Stop, can you hear my heart beating?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, it’s the sound of love
[Verse 3]
Bright lights, the city won’t sleep and
Bright lights, still searching for something
Each day the people on subways
Are all just working to be free
'Cause this world’s for you and me
Oh yeah, 'cause it’s made for you and me
[Bridge]
And the buildings light up
And the stars all erupt
Every one of them gold
I was living alone 'til they found me
[Chorus]
Stop, there’s a little light gleaming
Stop, in the ground below
Stop, can you hear my heart beating?
Stop, it’s the sound of love
Stop, there’s a little light gleaming
Stop, in the ground below
Stop, can you hear my heart beating?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, it’s the sound of love
[Outro]
Stop
(Oh) Stop
(I'm looking for something) Stop
Oh-oh, oh-oh, it’s the sound of love
Stop (There’s a little light gleaming)
Stop (In the ground below)
Stop (Can you hear my heart beating?)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, it’s the sound of love
