lyrics

Stop, there’s a little light gleaming
Stop, in the ground below
Stop, can you hear my heart beating
Oh oh oh oh

Bright lights, the city won’t sleep and
Bright lights, I’m waiting for someone
Late night’s just a little bit colder
I hold my hand into the air
We’re a long, long way from home
Oh yea, I’m a long, long way from home

First flight, I’m racing down Broadway
Face right, I’m looking for someone
Right now the people are hard but
Each one’s just bursting at the seams
Came a long, long way to be
Oh yea, came such a long, long way to be

Stop, there’s a little light gleaming
Stop, in the ground below
Stop, can you hear my heart beating
Oh oh oh oh it’s the sound of love

Bright lights, the city won’t sleep and
Bright lights, still searching for something
Each day the people on subways
Are all just working to be free
Cos this world’s for you and me
Oh yea, cos it’s made for you and me

And the buildings light up
And the stars all erupt
Every one of them gold
I was living alone till they found me

Stop, there’s a little light gleaming
Stop, in the ground below
Stop, can you hear my heart beating
It’s the sound of love
Stop, there’s a little light gleaming
Stop, in the ground below
Stop, can you hear my heart beating
Oh oh oh oh it’s the sound of love
Stop
Oh, I’m looking for something
Oh oh oh oh, it’s the sound of love
