City of Night
Embracing the City of Night
Lyrics
Well the sun?s going down
Describing the sunset as the day ends.
With its deep amber light
Referring to the sun's warm, amber-colored light.
Embracing the town as we fall into night
Highlighting the town being enveloped by the approaching night.
To the silvery sound as the birds fly away
Noting the sound created by birds as they depart.
Getting ready for love
Suggesting a transition from daily concerns to preparing for love.
Getting out of the day
Encouraging leaving the activities of the day behind.
It is the city of night
Declaring the setting as the city of night.
It is the city if night
Reiteration, emphasizing the nighttime atmosphere.
Leave the worries of day behind
Encouraging leaving daytime worries behind.
And dream a new dream tonight
Inviting the listener to dream anew in the night.
All the lands are a glow
Portraying all lands illuminated in the night.
All the lids painted red
Describing people with red-painted lids, possibly symbolizing passion.
And you wish you could take
Expressing a desire to undo or change something said last.
That last thing you said
Continuing the reflection on spoken words.
Well the night is a drum
Depicting the night as a drum singing joyful songs.
Singing songs of delight
Emphasizing the delight of the night's atmosphere.
But when dawn comes along
Pointing out that love may be overshadowed when dawn arrives.
Love is lost in the light
Indicating the potential loss of love in the morning light.
But in the city of night
Reaffirming the setting as the city of night.
Oh, in the city of night
Reiteration, reinforcing the theme of the nighttime city.
Leave the troubles of day behind
Encouraging leaving the day's troubles behind in the night.
And dream a new dream tonight
Inviting the listener to dream a fresh dream in the night.
