Till the End of the Night
(J. Lyon)
I sit in limbo till the sun goes down
Alone in silence in this sordid town
I drift and dream until the day is done
Like night clouds drift across the evening sun
But then the darkness calls and I awake
Lean out the window feel the city shake
Bathe in the glow of a neon light
I've found a place I know I'll be alright
Till the end of the night
Till the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
Till the end of the night
My friends all tell me that I'm wasting time
Can't sell my songs, it's just a waste of rhyme
I soothe my soul out on the city streets
I feel the madness of the day retreat
I grab my keys and shrug into my coat
Forget about the words I might have wrote
Out on the street beneath a drug store sign
A junkie chorus singing right on time
Till the end of the night
Till the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
Till the end of the night
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They shine down on every poor lost soul
Who's ever lost his way
Till the end of the night
Till the end of the night
It's gonna be alright
Till the end of the night
