Back to the Night Songtext
von Joan Armatrading

Leaves burnt by the sun
And there's no wind blowing
See the motor cars
With a smiling face at the wheel
I'm watching the little girls
With their young men at their heels
It's a sunny day
But get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Skyline


Sweet smiling rose
The night life perfume
See the romeos
Dancing under the moon light
I said the night
Night was made for romance
You keep your sunny day
Just get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like those skinny burlesque queens
I love a neon
Love a neon
Skyline

Got the card sharks hustling
At the break of the moon
Gay night walkers
Old blues buskers
All night long there's just so much to do
Just get me back to the night
Oh I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Love a neon
Love that neon skyline


Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Love a neon
Love that neon skyline

Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
I love that life
I love that life
I love that life

Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Love that life
Love that life
Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
