Alan Lorden songs
City of Night (long version) Words & Music by Alan James Lorden c2009
Performed by AJ Lorden
Walking 'round the city
Under a veil of neon rain
Without any reason
I look for love, don't find a thing
Is it any wonder no one ever tries to find their way
Where the wheel of fortune wins you a demon laughing
Who'd believe it's funny?
What do you do when you realize the lies have now come true
You'd better run away before they come to drag you down
Into their velvet prison of hate
You'd better run deep inside your days
In the silent screams and broken dreams
That burn through your soul
Cries the wounded heart of love
That will always be lost in the city of night
Lost in the city, the city of night
Glass and concrete midnight
Lead me through your maze of hard mistakes
Do your shattered mirrors reflect the empty faces
Living in your shadows
What can you do when you realize the lies have now come true
You'd better run away before they come to drag you down
Into their velvet prisons of hate
You'd better run deep inside your days
In the silent screams and broken dreams
That burn through your soul
Cries the wounded heart of love
That will always be lost in the city of night
In the city
Solo
Walking 'round the city
Under a veil of neon rain
I look for love, don't find a thing
In the silent screams and broken dreams
That burn through your soul
Cries the wounded heart of love
That will always be lost in the city of night
Like the wounded heart of love that will always be
Lost in the city of night
The city that won't ever change
Lost in the city
Without an escape
