[Verse 1]
Dawn awaits a sleepless English town of coloured grey
Here I roam the streets without you as summer fades away
[Chorus]
Down in the city at nights
Ooh, the cold wind blows
[Verse 2]
Wherever you may be right now, it must be getting late
You're probably asleep already; I am wide awake
[Chorus]
Down in the city at nights
Ooh...
[Verse 3]
"Don't be lonely," so you've told me, but don't you worry now
Loneliness can be ignored, and time has shown me how
[Chorus]
Down in the city at nights
I'm missing you so much
Down in the city
Down in the city
