Small Hours

I close the door and turn the key And dream a world for you and me Beyond the walls, a city breathes In this room one heart beats The stars, they shine for you and me On the street, ten floors below The city lights are all aglow The corner girls, they come and go Dreaming of a ticket home The stars, they shine for you and me I'll have a drink and then we'll see If the spirit conjures your genie To lie beside me in my dreams The wind is blowing a melody The stars, they shine for you and me Close the door and turn the key And now that you're alone with me We'll sit up late and watch TV The neon flashes red and green Oh, the stars, they shine for you and me --- Small Hours - The Pogues
