Look down the street folks are cleaning up
The bustle of a busy night is now an echo
Lights are going out doors are being locked
The parking lots are empty and the roads are quieter now
She's done waiting tables he's got the dishes done
They meet each other under a street light
Down the street they're yelling about money
But the lovers pay them no mind
'Cause no matter who gets what
The night will always fall
And the precious lights will always shine
Waitin' for the rain to go waitin' for the night to fall
Waiting for those precious lights to shine through the fog
Some lights only shine in the darkness
In the night that most people don't see
When tired young lovers look into each others eyes
You see the precious lights
The light that is the love
That shines for each other
In their eyes
