Dawn awaits a sleepless English town
Of coloured grey
Here I roam the streets without you
As summer fades away
Down in the city at nights
Oh, the cold wind blows
Wherever you may be right now
It must be getting late
You're probably asleep already
I am wide awake
Down in the city at nights
"Don't be lonely," so you've told me
But don't you worry now
Loneliness can be ignored
And time has shown me how
Down in the city at nights
I'm missing you so much
Down in the city
Down in the city
Of coloured grey
Here I roam the streets without you
As summer fades away
Down in the city at nights
Oh, the cold wind blows
Wherever you may be right now
It must be getting late
You're probably asleep already
I am wide awake
Down in the city at nights
"Don't be lonely," so you've told me
But don't you worry now
Loneliness can be ignored
And time has shown me how
Down in the city at nights
I'm missing you so much
Down in the city
Down in the city
