Well the lights go down in Brooklyn 

As she's walking out the door 

Oh and they're lining up like soldiers 

Going off to fight the war 

And all the colors look like fireworks 

In skies she knew before 



But the nights can't hide the days 

That the tears roll down her face 

And the light hits those eyes 

As she's dying to say 

Just take me away 



Well l through fog that sits like blankets 

And that's drowning out the glow 

You can hear voices loud 

And sing out a song nobody knows 

But to her it sounds like home 



But the nights can't hide the days 

That the tears roll down her face 

And the light hits those eyes 

As she's dying to say 

Just take me away from all that I am 

Just take me away from all that I am 



Well the fog sits like blankets 

And it smothers the glow 



Cause the nights can't hide the days 

That the tears roll down her face 

And the light hits those eyes 

As she's dying to say 

That the nights can't hide the days 

That the tears roll down her face 

And the light hits those eyes 

As she's dying to say 

Just take me away from all that I am [x4]
