Dawn awaits a sleepless English town
Of coloured grey
Here I roam the streets without you
As summer fades away
Down in the city at nights
Oh, the cold wind blows
Wherever you may be right now
It must be getting late
You’re probably asleep already
I am wide awake
Down in the city at nights
«Don't be lonely,» so you’ve told me
But don’t you worry now
Loneliness can be ignored
And time has shown me how
Down in the city at nights
I’m missing you so much
Down in the city
Down in the city
I was 12 years old, it was in 1986 and I was sitting by the river, it was a beautiful day and someone turned on the radio and since this song was on ... I was enchanted and everything went like in a video clip from --- it was my childhood , no critical problems, my parents were young and this SОNG ... I love it so much and miss that time in 1986
A-ha is one of the best bands ever, sometimes I love their music even better than Depeche Mode. I also like Pet Shop Boys, Tears For Fears, Roxette, Lady Gaga, Modern Talking, Bryan Adams, Kylie Minogue etc. This song is so pretty sad, God bless Morten, Pal and Magne!
I can even smell that gloomy foggy atmosphere at dawn... walking drunk through the city streets after she went away. That's what this song represents to me.
