The wet

[Verse 1] The wet asphalt glistens in the rain's hands And the windows sleep, as if forever Rare footsteps melt in the shop windows And the air holds the light halfway The traffic light blinks back at me Red, yellow—and no green Cars are silent near the wet slabs And the city, it seems, isn't sleeping, but frozen [Pre-Chorus] I walk, and every house is quieter Everything around is covered in blue glass Do you hear how silent the great avenue is? This night leaves its mark on the heart [Chorus] NIGHT CITY, hold me NIGHT CITY, don't let go Your silence is in the wet light And I'm drowning in it again NIGHT CITY, burn just a little NIGHT CITY, I can't turn Under the flickering traffic lights I stand, and I feel so good [Verse 2] At the intersection, puddles like metal And every glimmer slowly faded The streetlights swing their silent law As if the whole neighborhood had entered into one dream The wind caresses the signs on the wall And drags scents along the dark pavement I catch your rhythm in someone else's window And the city looks straight ahead, but with me [Pre-Chorus] One more step - and the light will be closer One more moment - and I will hear your answer Hidden in this gleam Peace The night leads me along [Chorus] NIGHT CITY, hold me NIGHT CITY, don't let go Your silence is in the wet light And I'm drowning in it again NIGHT CITY, burn just a little NIGHT CITY, I can't turn Under the flickering traffic lights I'm standing, and I feel so good [Bridge] And even though dawn is already around the corner I'll stay with the rain a little longer As long as your shine falls on the palm of my hand As long as you hold this silence with me [Chorus] NIGHT CITY, hold me NIGHT CITY, don't let go Your silence is in the wet light And I'm drowning in it again NIGHT CITY, burn just a little NIGHT CITY, I can't turn Under the flickering traffic lights I'm standing, and I feel so good
