Lyrics

This time don't take too long
We're leaving this town tonight
We're catching that last train upstate
And we won't look back
We'll follow the moonlight before us
Till daybreak shows us our way
Then we'll turn to the wind
Turn to the wind
Run to the end to the end

This town can tear your soul
Then compel you to stay one more day
In this puzzle of passion and power
We lose our way
Time lingers and time rushes forward
And stretches us out to the end
Let's run very far
Run very far
So very far run so far

On these midtown streets
In this downtown heat
I need to believe
To believe

These dreams ride so high
These storybooks lost in the sky
I hold onto something
But that something won't let me go
Will not let go

On these midtown streets
In this downtown heat
I need to believe
Won't you help me to see
Help me to see
Lead me to see

This time don't take too long
We're leaving this town tonight
We're catching that last train upstate
And we won't look back
We'll follow the moonlight before us
Till daybreak shows us our way
Then we'll turn to the wind
Turn to the wind
Run to the end to the end
To the...

Very professional sounding track. Well performed, I especially loved the keyboard and the vocals fit the mood of the song perfectly. Excellent production too.

A jazzy/pop track with a great ambient sound. It's very chilled out and rewarding, yet complex at the same time. There is a lot going on and had to go back for a second listen. I think the instrumentation is much stronger than the vocals here, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the vocal pitch or tone, but the melody is lacking a little. It's almost more like poetry sang to music, rather than a song.
I actually really like this though overall, as a package it really works. Best of luck to you!

some great stuff here.....very nice audio quailty


The keyboards really sound fantastic, great vocals and recording.

Great concept! Lyrics are on point. Nice voice really smooth delivery.

Its genre is sophisti-pop, to me. Sounds very eighties, the singing style too. Black, Spandau Ballet, Sade, Double, David Sylvian even. Very neat and professional. Existentialism and spleen.
