[Verse 1]
Dawn awaits a sleepless English town of coloured grey
Here I roam the streets without you as summer fades away

[Chorus]
Down in the city at nights
Ooh, the cold wind blows

[Verse 2]
Wherever you may be right now, it must be getting late
You're probably asleep already; I am wide awake

[Chorus]
Down in the city at nights
Ooh...

[Verse 3]
"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

[Chorus]
Down in the city at nights
I'm missing you so much
Down in the city
Down in the city
