Joan Armatrading Back To The Night Lyrics

Back To The Night Lyrics

Leaves burnt by the sun 

And there's no wind blowing 

See the motor cars with a smiling face at the wheel 

I'm watching the little girls 

With their young men at their heels 

It's a sunny day 

But get me back to the night 

'Cause I love that life 

Back to the night 

Like a skinny burlesque queen 

I love a neon 

Skyline



Sweet smiling rose 

The night life perfume 

See the romeos dancing under the moon light 

I see the night 

Night was made for romance 

You keep your sunny day 

Just get me back to the night 

'Cause I love that life 

Back to the night 

Like those skinny burlesque queens 

I love a neon skyline 

Got the card sharks hustling 

At the break of the moon 

Gay night walkers 

Old blues buskers 

All night long there's just so much to do



Just get me back to the night 

Oh I love the life 

Back to the night 

Like a skinny burlesque queen 

I love a neon skyline
