Joan Armatrading - Back To The Night lyrics

Leaves burnt by the sun

And there's no wind blowing

See the motor cars with a smiling face at the wheel

I'm watching the little girls

With their young men at their heels

It's a sunny day

But get me back to the night

'Cause I love that life

Back to the night

Like a skinny burlesque queen

I love a neon

Skyline

Sweet smiling rose

The night life perfume

See the romeos dancing under the moon light

I see the night

Night was made for romance

You keep your sunny day

Just get me back to the night

'Cause I love that life

Back to the night

Like those skinny burlesque queens

I love a neon skyline

Got the card sharks hustling

At the break of the moon

Gay night walkers

Old blues buskers

All night long there's just so much to do

Just get me back to the night

Oh I love the life

Back to the night

Like a skinny burlesque queen

I love a neon skyline
