This Night Is Alive Lyrics

When the whistle blows

At the end of the day

And the traffic flows

Anywhere that's away

There's a light that shines

In the middle of our minds

And reminds us

There are better things to do

When the sun descends

To its haven in the West

It's a once-again

That is just like all the rest

It keeps rolling on

And soon it is gone

And what's left

Is something wonderful and new

This night is alive

Like few that I have ever seen

It has a personality

And I think that we

Will get along fine

This night, this night is alive

There's a wall of sound

That a man can lean upon

And it stays around

Til the first light of the dawn

And the streetlamps shine

In defiance of the time

And the haze creates a halo

From the light

They are angels now

All connected by a wire

Humming silently

Like a bright electric choir

And the prayers they pray

Can take the chill away

As we all enjoy

The blessings of the night

This night is alive

Like few that I have ever seen

It reaches out to me

And I think that we

Will get along fine

This night, this night is alive

Alive

Alive

I will fill up on this darkness

And try to call it by its name

We will talk about the things

The daylight hides in shame

When the whistle blows

At the end of the day

And the traffic flows

Anywhere that's away

There's a bell that chimes

In the middle of our minds

It's a melody

That nobody can fight

And this living night

Soon will come to an end

And I've made a friend

I will never know again

So for now I'll stay

And not think about the day

I can still enjoy

The blessings of the night

This night is alive

Like few that I have ever seen

It has a personality

And I think that we

Will get along fine

This night, this night, this night

This night is alive

Like none that I have ever seen

It reaches out to me

And I think that we

Will get along fine

This night, this night is alive

Alive, this night

This night is alive
