I go out walking after midnight
Coming down the sky to set you free
Mama, don't you hear me crying?
You only see the ones in the light
In the high sodium-vapor-yellow
Lonesome air, the silent twilight's fall
Silhouettes a figure
You only see the ones in the light
Others drift away in the shadow
She goes out somewhere in the darkness
In her eyes, the phosphorescent gleam
The one I love is ghostly
You only see the ones in the light
Others drift away in the shadow
You only see the ones in the light
Others drift away in the shadows
