[Verse 1] Let’s walk where the darkened horizon gleamed, Through streets where quiet puddles weaved. The lamplights blurred with a smoky bright, And raindrops fell through the velvet night. [Verse 2] The rain drifted down in a shining sheen, Like sparkling gems in the crescent beam. And there through the veil of the glowing haze, Rose shadowed towers in neon glaze. [Pre-Chorus] No fire simmered and no gate was wide, Yet warmth still bathed the streets tonight. The stone paths shone with glistening grace, As if time had slept in that quiet place. [Chorus] Mmm… city in the late-night rain, It called to us through the windowpanes. Washing away the dust and pain Of broken souls and lonely lanes. Mmm… city in the smoky light, It glistened still in the darkest night. And every step on its pebbled path, Is caressed softly.. by a warming draft. [Bridge] As dawn drew pale in the dreary sky, The slow rain thinned and the end is nigh. The towers hazed like breath from glass, As night and rain began to pass. [Final Chorus] Mmm… city in the late-night rain, It soothes our heartaches, tears and pain. Though the pebbled streets grow distant and worn, The echo remains in the dreams we form. Mmm… city in the neon light, Let’s carry its hum through the waning night. And when the silent late-night rain falls slow, We’ll remember the soul of its midnight glow.
