Late At Night

I don't plan or conspire, I don't want to get no higher

It's your lack of ambition, well they tell me that it's missing

All the guns out on the western front are quiet now

Well it's nice to hear the world breath a sigh

It's like the color of your skin, you know it doesn't mean a thing

Nor do the clothes that we're wrapped in, it doesn't matter if you're thin

And though I lay awake at night, I know your arms will hold me tight

And I thank God we got it right here, in this city late at night

We are each like no other, we are unique to our mother

We are foals in the stable but we leave home when we're able

But we all need someone like the earth needs the sun

And our fate will be found in this life on the ground

Don't you get it wrong

It's like the color of your skin, you know it doesn't mean a thing

Nor do the clothes that we're wrapped in, it doesn't matter if you're thin

And though I lay awake at night, I know your arms will hold me tight

And I thank God we got it right here in this city late at night

It's like the color of your skin, you know it doesn't mean a thing

Nor do the clothes that we're wrapped in, it doesn't matter if you're thin

And though I lay awake at night, I know your arms will hold me tight

And I thank God we got it right here in this city late at night

Here in this city late at night
