Transcribed by Matt S.
And out from the echoes of the night
Concrete caverns catch the sky and hold the stars to ransom
A thousand dreams, it's getting late
Thousand runners standing still
I can smell the sand and sea again
I've had enough away
City times down down, I've got to go
Lord don't let me wait, Stay low
Am Bb Dm
'Cause I'm going up north again
Am Bb Dm (play 2 times)
Am Bb Dm (play 2 times)
