Lyrics Richard Hawley

Richard Hawley

Coles Corner

Hold back the night from us

Cherish the light for us

Don't let the shadows hold back the dawn

Cold city lights glowin'

The traffic of life is flowin'

Out over the rivers and on into dark

I'm goin' down town where there's music

I'm goin' where voices fill the air

Maybe there's someone waitin' for me

With a smile and a flower in her hair

I'm goin' down town where there's people

The loneliness hangs in the air

With no-one there real waitin' for me

No smile, no flower, nowhere

Cold city lights glowin'

The traffic of life is flowin'

Out over the rivers and on into dark

Hold back the night from us

Cherish the light for us

And don't let the shadows hold back the dawn

I'm goin' down town where there's music

I'm goin' where voices fill the air

Maybe there's someone waitin' for me

With a smile and a flower in her hair

I'm goin' down town where there's people

My loneliness hangs in the air

With no-one there real waitin' for me

No smile, no flower, nowhere

Hold back the night
