Fading Skyline

(mmm-hmmm) Late night, the lamps are burning low

Wet streets reflect the amber glow

Footsteps vanish around the bend

Another quiet road that has no end

The sirens fade into the gray

Tomorrow steals the

night away

We watch the skyline disappear

(just stay right here)

Late night, the avenues are running cold

A hundred stories left untold

Before the morning paints the sky in blue

I'll spend this fading hour

with you

(with you, yeah)

The yellow cabs have stopped their run

Long shadows waiting on the sun

Steam rises from the iron grate

We walk too slow,

we talk too late

All the world is fast asleep

Promises we mean to keep

Just hold my hand

against the cold

(hold on tight)

Late night, the avenues are running cold

A hundred stories left untold

Before the morning paints the sky in blue

I'll spend this fading hour

with you

(fade away with you)

Fading low...

Just you and me... (mmmmm)
