The Blue Nile Album

Workin' night and day
I try to get ahead
But I don't get ahead this way
Workin' night and day
The railroad and the fence
Watch the train go roll around the bend

Over the hillside
Over the moment
Over the hills and waiting

Workin' night and day
I try to get ahead
Workin' night and day
Don't make no sense
Walk me into town
The ferry will be there
To carry us away into the air

Over the hillside
Over white water
Over the hills and falling

The stars in your eyes
Knowin' what's right
The stars in your eyes
Don't explain

Over the hillside
Over the hillside
Over the hills and waiting
Over the hillside
Over the hillside
Over the hills and home we'll go

Tomorrow I will be there
Tomorrow I will be there
Tomorrow I will be there
Oh, you wait and see

I can't go on and I can't go back
I don't feel so, matter of fact
I tried and tried to make good sense

Sometimes I walk away
When all I really wanna do
Is love and hold you right
There is just one thing I can say
Nobody loves you this way
It's alright
Can't you see?
The downtown lights

In love we're all the same
We're walking down an empty street
And with nobody, call your name
Empty streets, empty nights
The downtown lights

How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know it's true?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's alright

Tonight and every night
Let's go walking down this empty street
Let's walk in the cool evening light
Wrong or right
Be at my side
The downtown lights

It will be alright
It will be alright
The downtown lights
Yeah, yeah

How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know it's true?

It's alright
It's alright
The downtown lights

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know you feel it?
How do I know it's true?

Yeah, yeah, the downtown lights

The neon's and the cigarettes
Rented rooms and rented cars
The crowded streets, the empty bars
Chimney tops and trumpets
The golden lights, the loving prayers
The coloured shoes, the empty trains
I'm tired of crying on the stairs
The downtown lights

Where the cars go by
All the day and night
Why don't you say
What's so wrong tonight
Pray for me
Praying for the light
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight

Where the lights all shine
Like I knew they would
Be mine all mine
Baby I'll be good
Pray for me
Praying for the light
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight

I know a place
Where everything's alright, alright
Let's go out tonight

Where the cars go by
All the day and night
Why don't you say
What's so wrong tonight
I pray for love
Coming out alright, yeah
Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight, yeah
Baby, Baby, Baby, let's go out tonight

And if in love she cried
Something wasn't right
I'm sorry
Would be easy
To say I love you

Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
I go, yeah

Close your eyes
Come with me
Only love is alive
Close your eyes
Can't you see
Only love will survive, yeah

Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
I love you

Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
I've made up my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Only love will survive
Yeah
The city wins while you and I
Can't find a way
Oh, headlights on the parade, yeah, yeah

Fly little angel
Fly little angel

From a late night train
Reflected in the water
When all the rainy pavement
Lead to you
It's over now
I know it's over
But I can't let go

The cigarettes, the magazines
All stacked up in the rain
There doesn't seem to be a funny side
It's over now
I know it's over
But I can't let go

From a late night train
The little towns go rolling by
And people in the station
Going home
It's over now
I know it's over

Where's the love that shines?
Every single time I'm near you
Where's the love that's all
All I want is you
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
I need love to be true

Where's the light that shines?
Out among the neon signs
Every single time I see you
You're mine and only mine
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Ooh, Baby
Where's the love that shines?

Each time I fall for you
It hurts me a little bit more
Than I want it to
I don't want it to
Yeah

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
I need love to be true, yeah
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
I'm coming home to you
Stop, go
Stop, go
Stop, go
I don't know
Yeah
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Who do you love?
Who do you really love?
Who are you holding on to?
Who are you dreaming of?

Who do you love?
When it's cold and it's starlight
When the streets are so big and wide
I love you
An ordinary girl
Can make the world alright
Love me all the way
Saturday night
Saturday night

Quarter to five
When the storefronts are closed in paradise
Meet me outside the Cherry Light
You and I walk away
An ordinary girl
Will make the world alright
She'll love me all the way
It's Saturday night, yeah, yeah

Ordinary girl
And all the coloured lights
She'll love me all the way
It's Saturday night
Saturday night

Love me wrong or right
Who do you love?
Who do you really love?
Who do you love?
Who do you really love?
Saturday night, yeah
Saturday night, yeah
Saturday night, yeah
Saturday night, yeah

I love an ordinary girl
She'll make the world alright
She'll love me and I know
Love is Saturday night
Alright, alright, alright
