Waiting for the early trains
Kicking cans in the square
Funny how it always rains
On people going nowhere
There's something you don't understand
This city used to be your friend
Where has the life and soul gone
When did the party end
Seems so far from the morning light
So long until the dawn
You're a lifetime away from another day
You wonder will it ever come
It's four lonely hours away
The night has lost it's shine
With the neon's fading glow
It's no time to be standing still
As the chill hits four below
The city's gone to sleep
A million dreams removed
Suddenly all the emptiness
Is bearing down on you
Seems so far from the morning light
So long until the dawn
You're a lifetime away from another day
You wonder will it ever come
It's four lonely hours away
