Streetlights Songtext
von Motel Radio

Found the courage, run away from home
Hit the open road like a rollin′ stone
On your radio

All those buildings, tall like weeds they grow
Lights in offices, on and off they go
Everyone's alone

The city swallowed you like a sleeping pill
Wonder if you thought about me still

So I came to see you, we played in broken streets
Every sidewalk held a mystery
And we held the keys


When it started raining we rain like trains till we
Found the bus stop that I held you underneath
Till you fell asleep

The street lights lit you up like a cigarette
The kind of glow that a man don′t wanna quit

As the sun rays, fought the rain away
We hid in your room under cotton caves
Oh and we slept the whole damn day

We both knew I, had to leave that night
Shooting stars fell from your moonlight eyes
As you say goodbye

The highway was as empty as my heart
Skylight slipped away into the dark

This old town it cries for you my dear
The streetlights ain't as bright without you here
