When The City Sleeps Lyrics

Barclay James Harvest When The City Sleeps

In the shining sun
My images they run
Confusing all I've done before I've begun
And every city scene
Becomes a roaring stream
A nightmare and a dream rolled into one
But when the city sleeps
I'm up and on my feet
Along the darkened streets
Hear me run
Through the empty town
Running, laughing, down
No-one else around - to bother old me
By factories I sway
My shadows seem to play
To do this in the day - I'd never be free
But when the city sleeps....
