Cities May Fall Lyrics - Cliff Richard

The city in defeat, 

With no one left to beat, 

There's still a fading desire, 

To burn a naked light, 

Just to defy the night, 

Come on and call me a liar. 

A crumble tumble down, 

In fumble bumble town, 

Our lives a ruin, 

We reconstruct a bit, 

And pretty up a bit, 

We hardly know what we're doing.

CHORUS: 

But me and my baby, 

Make the best of this world, 

She's like a diamond, 

Innocent girl. 

We watch the sign of the times, 

Writing on the wall-Cities may fall. 

Back through the city fog, 

I was another cog, 

For the machinery there, 

Now the machines have gone, 

The silence hanging on, 

I sit, I stare. 

CHORUS Repeated

Come on and take your aim, 

I feel the mildest pain, 

Protecting something so rare, 

'Cos there's a gem or two. 

Inside the human zoo, 

If only you are aware. 

CHORUS Repeated.
