Sad Nights

Walked you to the corner

Stood beside the bus

And tears rolled down our faces

As the driver stared at us

Typical summer

That time of year

When you go back to Toronto

And I stay here

And I miss the way you wake up

And the way you sigh

And I miss the way you turn your head away when you cry

I don't think this time will fly

Here comes sad nights again

Here comes

Sad nights again

Around about midnight

When its still too hot to think

We'll go back down to the neighborhood

And get ourselves a drink

Every day working

Not getting far

No, this town ain't much for starting off

Its only made for stars

And later when I'm walking underneath the starless sky

There's a couple in a doorway

And I think I hear them cry

But they turn their heads

When I go by

Here comes sad nights again

Here comes

Sad nights again

Last days of summer

San Janelle feast

There's music hanging in the air

And dancing in the streets

People line the corners

And they stand beside the fires

And I'm watching from my window

As the sparks go by

And somewhere there's a gunshot

People scatter everywhere

And it happens every day

So there's still laughter in the air

And as I lay down

I wish you were here

And here comes sad nights again

Here comes

Sad nights again

Here comes sad nights again
