Well the lights go down in Brooklyn 
As she's walking out the door 
Oh and they're lining up like soldiers 
Going off to fight the war 
And all the colors look like fireworks 
In skies she knew before 

But the nights can't hide the days 
That the tears roll down her face 
And the light hits those eyes 
As she's dying to say 
Just take me away 

Well l through fog that sits like blankets 
And that's drowning out the glow 
You can hear voices loud 
And sing out a song nobody knows 
But to her it sounds like home 

But the nights can't hide the days 
That the tears roll down her face 
And the light hits those eyes 
As she's dying to say 
Just take me away from all that I am 
Just take me away from all that I am 

Well the fog sits like blankets 
And it smothers the glow 

Cause the nights can't hide the days 
That the tears roll down her face 
And the light hits those eyes 
As she's dying to say 
That the nights can't hide the days 
That the tears roll down her face 
And the light hits those eyes 
As she's dying to say 
Just take me away from all that I am [x4]
