Lyrics
Long City Nights copyright 200 GWM
Long, long city nights, I was alone with stars in my eyes
All those miles from home, no way of knowing if I?d even survive
being on my own
Streets all looking the same every thing?s dark and gray and unknown
An me, heeding the call, dropping it all, to save the world
Hoping I?m not on my own
Didn?t I know You were there with me, didn?t I feel You, why didn?t I see
Only a fool thinks he?s on his own when there?s one set of foot prints to see
And they are long, long city nights, calling me home
Instrumental break 1
And I?m not on my own
Instrumental beak 2
And they are long, long city nights, I?m coming home with my star in the sky
Big bright city lights, shinning on me, tonight
And I not on my own
I?m not on my own
