Joni Mitchell - Night In The City lyrics

Light up your lazy blue eyes

Moon's up nights up

Taking the town by surprise

Night time night time

Day left an hour ago

City light time

Must you get ready so slow

There are places to come from and places to go

Night in the city looks pretty to me

Night in the city looks fine

Music comes spilling out into the street

Colors go flashing in time

Take off take off

Take off your stay-at-home shoes

Break off shake off

Chase off those stay-at-home blues

Stairway stairway

Down to the crowds in the street

They go their way

Looking for faces to greet

But we run on laughing with no one to meet

Night in the city looks pretty to me

Night in the city looks fine

Music comes spilling out into the street

Colors go waltzing in time
