Blue Rodeo Sad Nights Lyrics

Sad Nights Lyrics

I walked you to the corner we stood beside the bus 

 And the tears rolled down our faces as the driver stared at us 

 Typical summer that time of year 

 When you go back to Toronto and I stay here 

  

 And I’ll miss the way you wake up 

 And the way that you sigh 

 And I’ll miss the way you turn your head away when you cry 

 I don’t think this time will fly 

  

 Here comes the sad nights again 

 Here comes the sad nights again 

  

 Round about midnight when it’s still too hot to think 

 We’ll go back down to the neighborhood and get ourselves a drink 

 Everyday working not getting far 

 You know this town ain’t much for starting up it’s only made for
stars 

  

 Later when I’m walking 

 Underneath the starless sky 

 There’s a couple in the doorway and I think I hear them cry 

 But they turn their heads when I go by 

  

 Here comes the sad nights again 

 Here comes the sad nights again 

  

 Last days of summer San Gennaro Feast 

 There’s much hanging in the air and dancing in the streets 

 People line the corners and they stand beside the fires 

 And I’m watching from my window as the sparks go by 

  

 Somewhere there’s a gunshot 

 People scatter everywhere 

 But it happens everyday so there’s still laughter in the air 

 And as I lay down I wish you were here 

  

 Here comes the sad nights again 

 Here comes the sad nights again
