Coles Corner - Richard Hawley

Hold back the night from us

Cherish the light for us

Don’t let the shadows hold back the dawn

Cold city lights glowing

The traffic of life is flowing

Out over the rivers and on into dark

I’m going down town 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

Cold city lights glowing

The traffic of life is flowing

Out over the rivers and on into dark

Hold back the night from us

Cherish the light for us

Don’t let the shadows hold back the dawn

I’m going down town 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

Hold back the night
