Well the lights go down in Brooklyn   As she's walking out the door   Oh and they're lining up like soldiers   Going off to fight the war   And all the colors look like fireworks   In skies she knew before      But the nights can't hide the days   Whoa, that the tears roll down her face   Oh, and the light hits those eyes   As she's dying to say   Just take me away      Well through fog that sits like blankets   And that's drowning out the glow   You can hear voices loud   And sing out a song nobody knows   But to her it sounds like home      But the nights can't hide the days   Whoa, that the tears roll down her face   And the light hits those eyes   As she's dying to say   Just take me away from all that I am   Just take me away from all that I am      Well the fog sits like blankets   And it smothers the glow      Cause the nights can't hide the days   Whoa, that the tears roll down her face   Oh, and the light hits those eyes   As she's dying to say      That the nights can't hide the days   Whoa, that the tears roll down her face   Oh, and the light hits those eyes   As she's dying to say   Just take me away from all that I am   Just take me away from all that I am   Just take me away from all that I am   Just take me away from all that I am
