Story Behind The Song

There's not much of a story. It's kind of a chill-out song.

Song Description

I resisted all temptation to complicate this song. It is simple. The backdrop to the end of a day, or the beginning of another.

Lyrics

The city rain, falls
The tavern light, calls
Hours before the dawn
City life moves on

Gone are the days
of whiskey and cream
Gone are the notions
Of that old pipe dream
Gone is the thoughts
Of those yesterday's
Gone are the days
Gone are the days

A shooting star goes out
As people go on all about
The smell of food drifts
Underneath a bridge

Gone are the days
we thought we knew it all
Gone are the nights
Summers turned to fall
Gone away, gone gone are those days

The city rain ends
The night slowly makes amends
Time moves along
The city lights go on
