Sometimes I walk away

When all I really wanna do

Is love and hold you right

There is just one thing I can say

Nobody loves you this way

It's alright

Can't you see?

The downtown lights

In love we're all the same

We're walking down an empty street

And with nobody, call your name

Empty streets, empty nights

The downtown lights

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know it's [bad word] 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's alright

Tonight and every night

Let's go walking down this empty street

Let's walk in the cool evening light

Wrong or right

Be at my side

The downtown lights

It will be alright

It will be alright

The downtown lights

Yeah, yeah

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know it's [bad word] 

It's alright

It's alright

The downtown lights

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know you feel it?

How do I know it's [bad word] 

Yeah, yeah, the downtown lights

The neon's and the cigarettes

Rented rooms and rented cars

The crowded streets, the empty bars

Chimney tops and [bad word] 
The golden lights, the loving prayers

The coloured shoes, the empty trains

I'm tired of crying on the stairs

The downtown lights

Yeah, yeah
