One Night In The City
Johnny was a dark child He was promised to us all But rides in the night, can lift you out of sight When they call
Sally was a princess She was chosen for the crown But chains can't stop the sound
Of one night in the city One night looking pretty
The someone opened doorways And Johnny slipped away Running for the bright, where dark is always light But there's no day
The princess saw the dark child And the dark child said her name
Come steal away, we'll play the game
Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream Are you poor, are you sure, are you holy, are you pure I can tell you tales you just might not believe
One night in the city, one night looking pretty One night in the city, one night looking pretty
The children shared the wonder Of the leather and the lace But one child went away, and one child stayed to play
For one night in the city
