We follow the taillights out of the city
Moving in a river of red
As the colours fade away from
Dusky sunset
We roll for the darkness ahead
We are old, we are young
We are in this together
Vagabonds and children
Prisoners forever
With pulses a-raging
And eyes full of wonder
Kicking out behind us again
Nighttime City Beat the radio is calling
The lost and lonely in vain
Out here we are running for the
Wide open spaces
The roadsmell after the rain
We are old, we are young
We are in this together
Vagabonds and children
Prisoners forever
With pulses a-raging
And eyes full of wonder
Kicking out behind us again
And watching as a boy alone
At the quayside
The ships loading cargo in the night
Their names all calling to faraway places
The years go past, the miles go by
And still this childhood romance
Will not die …
