I walk these

[Verse 1] Streetlights hum a lonely tune On cobblestones beneath the moon The bridge is glowing like a crown But I'm the one who's broken down The bodega's open, coffee black I trace your name and then look back The subway rattles through the dark A hollow sound, a fading spark [Chorus] Brooklyn nights, they never sleep But my heart's buried six feet deep I walk these blocks where we would dance Lost in a half-remembered trance Brooklyn nights, they hold the rain And whisper your sweet name again But you're a ghost in every light These lonely Brooklyn nights [Verse 2] The rooftop view, the fire escape A silhouette of your old shape I see your shadow in the steam From manhole covers, like a dream The pizza shop, the corner store Don't feel like home like once before The brownstone's silent, cold and gray I'm just a stranger here today [Bridge] And maybe someday I'll be free From every street that talks of we But till the dawn decides to break This city's more than I can take [Chorus] Brooklyn nights, they never sleep But my heart's buried six feet deep I walk these blocks where we would dance Lost in a half-remembered trance Brooklyn nights, they hold the rain And whisper your sweet name again But you're a ghost in every light These lonely Brooklyn nights [Outro] The G train rumbles out of sight Into the endless Brooklyn night I close my eyes and feel the cold A story that's already told These lonely Brooklyn nights
