Dio - One Night In The City lyrics

rate me

Johnny was a dark child

He was promised to us all

But riders in the night, can lift you out of sight

When they call

That's all

My Sally was a princess

She was chosen for the crown

But chains can't stop the sound

Of one night in the city

One night looking pretty

Then someone opened doorways

And Johnny slipped away

Running for the bright, where dark is always light

There's no day

No way

The princess saw the dark child

And the dark child said her name

Come steal away, we'll play the game

Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me

I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream

I'm the poor, I'm the sure, I'm the holy, I'm the pure

I can tell you tales you just might not believe

One night in the city, one night looking pretty

One night in the city, one night looking pretty

One night

Yeah the children shared the wonder

Of the leather and the lace

But one child went away, and one child stayed to play

For one night in the city

But chains don't make a wall

and dreams lay where they fall

Dark is never night

when dreams make up the light

One night in the city, one night feeling pretty

Feeling pretty in the city

One night in the city

One night

One night

Oh one child went away

and one child stayed to play

Chains don't make a wall

Your dreams all lay just where they fall

In the city

One night in the city
