The Night When the City Dreamed

All's quiet downtown
I keep my windows open
I'm learning how to know you
Been blue for a long time
Looking for myself and
Coming up empty-handed

Been walking the same streets
They're gray under the same crowd
My body knows the way now
But tonight you walked with me
And nothing looked the same
You said, "baby take my hand"

And the pavement cracked right under our feet
Flowers covered these city streets
And the water rushed through hallowed halls
And ivy climbed over barren walls
And you painted my starless night with brand new light
And I heard songs you've never listened for echo through the night

And baby, now we're dancing down the avenues
A band's playing, can you hear it, too?
I feel it when I'm with you
We're dancing around a garden no one sees
On the night when the city dreamed

Come on, climb out your window
Swing your legs over the fire escape, I wanna

Darling, I want to know you
Your wild, secret dreams
The fears that you can't speak

And we'll watch the pavement crack right under our feet
Flowers cover these city streets
Hear the water rush through hallowed halls
And ivy climbs over barren walls

And you paint my starless sky with brand new light
And I'll sing songs you've never heard before
They'll echo through the night

And baby, now we're dancing down the avenues
A band's playing, can you hear it, too?
I feel it when I'm with you
We're dancing around a garden no one sees
On the night when the city dreamed

And I'd lie here still
My barren ground
Darling, take your time
'Til you're all around
My heart, my mind, my soul

My heart, my mind, my soul
The garden grows

And baby, now we're dancing down the avenues
A band's playing, can you hear it, too?
I feel it when I'm with you
We're dancing around a garden no one sees
Yeah, we're dancing around a garden no one sees
On the night when the city dreamed
