Bright Eyes Driving Fast Through A Big City At Night Lyrics

Driving Fast Through A Big City At Night Lyrics

how many lights do you see? 

how many lights do you see? 

how many lights do you see? 

there's one to say that night has come 

and there's one that guards this jagged shore 

and there's one to call the children home 

and there's one to light the path they take 

how many lights do you see? 

how many lights do you see? 

there's one to keep the shadows off 

and there's one that tells me she got home 

and there's one to read his novel by 

and there's one that warms this dreary room 

and there's one to watch the baby sleep 

and there's one to count the blinking stars 

and there's one that i just can't forget 

and there's one that i remember too 

how many lights do you see? 

how many lights do you see? 

there's one that waits for closing time 

and there's one that gets left on all night 

and there's one that marks the western sky 

and it shines down on the quiet street 

and there's one that floods the darker parts 

and there's one that hurts my tired eyes 

and there's one that says she's not asleep 

and there's one that waits for her to wake 

how many lights do you see? 

how many lights do you see? 

there is one that spills out on the beach 

and it sparkles on the jetting rocks 

and there is one that waits for tired ships 

that sleep within this tired port
