Streets

As darkness falls so hard The children play Somewhere Out there Alone and out of place Streets of illusion Sooth the shattered fate I've been a runner I've been a sinner I've been inside my head I sit here staring Never quite caring And this is where it has led These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake Somewhere out there Gardens bloom and grow Children awaken To a world they know Somewhere the sun shines Somewhere the light's kind Somewhere they seek the day Somewhere there's no scene Somewhere the air's clean But somewhere is so far away These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake Welcome children From the other side In the darkness Your eyes are opened wide Here there are answers On the edge dancers Here the night hides out sins And if you listen While the streets glisten Here's where our story begins These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake --- Streets - Savatage
