Well, the lights go down in Brooklyn as she's walkin' out the door
Oh, they're linin' up like soldiers goin' 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
Whoa, that the tears roll down her face
Oh, and the light hits those eyes
As she's dyin' to say just take me away

Well, through fog that sits like blankets and that's drownin' out the glow
You can hear voices loud and singin' out a song nobody knows
But to her it sounds like home

But the nights can't hide the days
Whoa, that the tears roll down her face
And the light hits those eyes
As she's dyin' 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

Oh, 'cause the nights can't hide the days
Whoa, that the tears roll down her face
Oh, and the light hits those eyes
As she's dyin' to say

Oh, that the nights can't hide the days
Whoa, that the tears roll down her face
Oh, and the light hits those eyes
As she's dyin' to say just take me away from all that I am
Just take me away from all that I am
Just take me away from all that I am
Just take me away from all that I am
