Walking this city’s sidewalk
Where baby took a leave in the pouring rain
Wet streets filled with sorrow
Maybe baby couldn’t stand the vain
Where do the bluebirds fly
In the dark city sky
Another day goes by
Under the dark city sky

The golden moon’s full of tricks dear
And the diamond fever’s gonna cool down
I can’t patch it up here
There’s no cash flowin when you’re not around
Where do the bluebirds fly
In the dark city sky
Another day goes by
Under the dark city sky

The night falls and I’m waiting
I’m down on the corner where baby could be found
She’s a whole lotta woman
And when [bad word] a-walking don’t you love the sound
Where do the bluebirds fly
In the dark city sky
Another day goes by
Under the dark city sky
