If you take the tears from crying eyes,. Will the hurt just disappear,. Put a weapon in the hand of a frightened man,. Will he show no fear,. So we stand and we watch while the city lights go out one by one,.
Why can't it wait 'til morning?. We can talk about it then. 'Cause I've had a drink too many. And my troubles, well, I ain't got any. . Why can't it wait 'til daylight?.
I know she knows she wants me, I hear it every day. And I know she knows she needs me, there ain't no other way. But she's got a heart, must be made of stone.
We stand, hang our heads disbelieving. Then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong. Oh we wonder just what must they be thinking. To take a life of one so young.
When I grow up to be a man. like my father was when I was young. I hope i can make him so proud of me. Proud enough to call me his son. . What makes these people so different now.
We said goodbye to a dear old friend. And we packed our bags and left feeling sad. It's the only way. . We said hello as we turned the key. A new roof over our heads, gave a smile.
My harbour lights are fading fast. soon they'll disappear. alone I sit in darkness. hoping someone might come near. though I wait, though I try. no one ever comes.
This is your wake up call... young hearts be free. . Get up, get on, get out about and shout it. Tell'em all you're dressed and on your way. Oh there's absolutely no doubt about it.
Why can't it wait 'til morning?. We can talk about it then. 'Cause I've had a drink too many. And my troubles, well I ain't got any. . Why can't it wait 'til daylight?.
