The sun disappears bringing fears that come only at night

With hopes and dreams that will wither away in the light

And thoughts wander back to the girl with the perfect smile

Who said she would never leave you alone

But she had to spend some time on her own for a while



There's more than one nightmare at large in this city tonight

You know you can't shut out the dark with the neon light

Deep in the town the night birds are walking

And somewhere a heart is being broken

One lonely soul finds a bar that stays open all night



It's alright until the night when you can't forget she went away



It's alright until the night when you can't forget she went away



A song drifts along from a bar where a jukebox plays

And triggers the memory of happier summer days

Drive to the beach, sun on the water

Love was in reach and you never saw that

The sun was sinking and love was fading away
