lyrics

A busy day
You gave us a place to go
A place to go
At the end of a busy day
The end of the day
You gave us the end of the day
The darkness

[chorus:]
As night draws in
The evening fades far behind
You left us behind
And headed into the night and the mist

Sunrise
Mist rolling in from the sea
I see you
Coming to take me back
I see you
Coming to take me away
Take me away
From this place you must take me away
Home town
Lead me to where I grew up
I'll see you
Stood in the streets we knew
So softly
Just longing for us to come in
And be there

[chorus]

You bought us
Bought all our loves with a song
And sold us
To any who'd walk in that door
They'll walk in that door
For ever and ever each night
In darkness

[chorus]

Come back now
We need all your space one more time
Let us in
We need you to furnish our lives
No closing down
Nor leaving the town far behind
Don't take them away
All the men they will take you away
Take us away
When you go will you take us away
At the end of the day
You gave us the end of the day
Happiness

[chorus]
