Didn't really notice
|
That the sun was goin' down
|
All that's left are the streetlights
|
Of this lazy desert town
|
|
Didn't really notice
|
That I'm all alone again
|
'Cause that's the way
|
That it's always been
|
|
If it weren't for streetlights
|
There would be no light at all
|
Casting a shadow on my wall
|
My lonely wall
|
|
Watching the tail lights
|
From the corner of my eye
|
The moon and the stars must have picked
|
Another part of the sky
|
|
Didn't really notice
|
That I haven't got a friend
|
|
'Cause that's the way
|
That it's always been
|
|
If it weren't for the streetlights
|
There would be no light at all
|
Casting a shadow on my wall
|
My lonely wall
|
|
The stars of a city
|
Glowing ten miles away
|
I don't know why that makes it seem
|
So much farther away
|
|
Don't really care
|
That I'm all alone again
|
'Cause that's the way
|
That it's always been
|
|
If it weren't for the streetlights
|
There would be no light at all
|
Casting a shadow on my wall
|
My four lonely walls
|
