Keane - The Night Sky lyrics

ONE DAY I WILL BE

BACK IN OUR OLD STREET

SAFE FROM THE NOISE THAT'S

FALLING AROUND ME

AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN

AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY

AND THERE WILL BE NO SOUND

OPEN THE BARS AND

OPEN THE MARKETS

OPEN THE BANKS AND

OPEN THE CHURCHES

AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN

AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY

AND THERE WILL BE NO SOUND

WE'VE BEEN COWERING SO LONG

OH WHAT I WOULD GIVE

TO STAND AT THE BUS STOP

OR BROWSE IN A BOOKSHOP

TO SLEEP AND ALWAYS BE STILL

AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN

AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY

AND I WILL BE SET FREE FROM THE PEOPLE

WHO ARE TRYING TO BURY ME

AND THEN ONLY FIREWORKS WILL LIGHT THE SKY AT NIGHT

FOR ALL THE WORLD CAN SEE
