City Song

Howard Jones


It was that night at Nowhere, I saw you standing there 
Darlin' you were hungry for life, an innocent in this land 

What is it about this city, that brings us all to life 
Ten millions souls vibrating, 
They're shimmering in the night 

You mustn't think of staying, 
The price is more than you'd think 
It's giving up the sweetest part of you, 
For this heartless prize 

When does a vision of heaven become a living hell 
Ten million souls vibrating, they're acting it out for real 

Where do all the lonely people go, 
When they want some lovin' 
Where do all the lonely people hide, when they feel like cryin' 

It was that night at nowhere, a cold glass in your hand 
Darlin' you were angry with life, a prisoner in this land 

What is it about this city, that brings us all to life 
Ten millions souls vibrating, 
They're shimmering in the night 

Where do all the lonely people go, 
When they want some lovin' 
Where do all the lonely people hide, when they feel like cryin' 
Where do all the lonely people go, in this crowded city 
Where do all the lonely people hide, there's no sanctuary 

Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide 
Nowhere to handshake, nowhere to smile 
Won't you talk with me 
Spend some time and give me life 
When does a vision of heaven become a living hell 
Ten million souls vibrating 
They're shimmering in the night 

Where do all the lonely people go, in this crowded city 
Where do all the lonely people hide, there's no sanctuary 

A vision of heaven 
A vision of heaven
