I can’t light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I’m growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my lifeToo late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the lightDon’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on meI can’t find, oh, the right romantic line But see me once and see the way feel Don’t discard me just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them healDon’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on meDon’t let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it’s always someone else I see I’d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, yeah But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I sit and wait Does an angel contemplate my fate And do they know The places where we go When we’re grey and old ‘Cause I have been told That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I’m lying in my bed Thoughts running through my head And I feel the love is dead I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me I’m loving angels instead
When I’m feeling weak And my pain walks down a one way street I look above
And I know I’ll always be blessed with love And as the feeling grows She breathes flesh to my bones And when love is dead
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead
And through it all she offers me protection A lot of love and affection Whether I’m right or wrong And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me I know that life won’t break me When I come to call, she won’t forsake me I’m loving angels instead
Have you seen the old man In the closed down market Kicking up the papers With his worn out shoes?
In his eyes, you see no pride Hand held loosely at his side Yesterday’s paper Telling yesterday’s news
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely And say for you that the sun don’t shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair And her clothes in rags?
She’s no time for talking She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home In two carrier bags
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely And say for you that the sun don’t shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind
In the all night cafe At a quarter past eleven Same old man Sitting there on his own
Looking at the world Over the rim of his tea cup Each tea lasts an hour And he wanders home alone
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely? Don’t say for you that the sun don’t shine Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London Show you something to make you change your mind
Have you seen the old man Outside the seaman’s mission Memory fading with The medal ribbons that he wears?
In our winter city The rain cries a little pity For one more forgotten hero And a world that doesn’t care
So, how can you tell me you’re lonely And say for you that the sun don’t shine? Let me take you by the hand And lead you through the streets of London I’ll show you something to make you change your mind
You’re feeling nervous, aren’t you, boy? With your quiet voice and impeccable style Don’t ever let them steal your joy And your gentle ways To keep ’em from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face Dress you down, and tell you that your place Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
I see you tugging on your shirt Trying to hide inside of it And hide how much it hurts
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
You get discouraged, don’t you, girl? It’s your brother’s world for a while longer We gotta dance with the devil on a river To beat the stream Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
They come to kick dirt in your face To call you weak and then displace you After carrying your baby on your back across the desert I saw your eyes behind your hair And you’re looking tired, but you don’t look scared
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
Let ’em laugh while they can Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends And the joke’s on them
Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you And by now, you should’ve somehow realised what you gotta do I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And backbeat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out I’m sure you’ve heard it all before, but you never really had a doubt I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don’t know how
Because maybe You’re gonna be the one that saves me And after all You’re my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day, but they’ll never throw it back to you And by now, you should’ve somehow realised what you’re not to do I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding And all the lights that light the way are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don’t know how
I said maybe You’re gonna be the one that saves me And after all You’re my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe) You’re gonna be the one that saves me And after all You’re my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe) You’re gonna be the one that saves me (saves me) You’re gonna be the one that saves me (saves me) You’re gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)

Lyrics
Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
And if, you don’t love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don’t love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the light
And if you don’t love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don’t love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
And if you don’t love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow) Chain keep us together (running in the shadow) Chain keep us together (running in the shadow) Chain keep us together (running in the shadow) Chain keep us together (running in the shadow) Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
