When The Night Comes Down - Lindisfarne

Darkness comes down on city, another day is done

Streetlights you up so pretty, you and me can have some kind of fun

But there’s a light in the basement doorway, how’s about you and me stick around

Take a chance you can have it all your way, if you tell me you’ll stay

When the night comes down

And tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end

If you got the notion, I got the money to spend

We can keep it in motion, do it all over town

What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down

Say you’ll be around, when the night comes down

Say let’s go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down

See them all going from streets all their stuff & money to burn

They all know they’re gonna get their business fixed

They’re gonne have fun got nothing to learn

Some of them go home lonely, some of them will tear each other apart

Some of them like me and you will see it all

Just keep dancing to the beat of their heart

Tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end

If you got the notion, I got the money to spend

We can keep it in motion, do it all over town

What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down

Say you’ll be around, when the night comes down

Say let’s go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down

Instrumental: (like 'say you’ll be …)

Some people go to the mountains, some people they go down to the sea

But there’s one thing you know you can count on, you can always come downtown

with me

And if you see a light from the doorway, you know I’m somewhere around

Or else I’ll be somewhere up your way, would you let me stay

When the night comes down

Tonight is an ocean, never reaching the end

If you got the notion, I got the money to spend

We can keep it in motion, do it all over town

What you got to do is stay with me, when the night comes down

Say you’ll be around, when the night comes down

Say let’s go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down

Say you’ll be around, when the night comes down

Say let’s go downtown, stay with me, when the night comes down
