neon sky

there's the neon sky

that i know so well

there's the smokey room

where i chose to dwell

though i hear your heart

many miles away

the neon sky

tells me i must stay

through the windy field

of another land

i have seen your face

girl

i have held your hand

though i should be there

with you there today

the neon sky knows that i must stay

cause the devil's red

but his money is green

that's where i'm from

oh

that's where i've been

on a dusty stage

many years ago

i chose my road

still i hope you know

that there'll come a day with the neon sky

when we'll walk into the sun

you and i

yes now he calls

beckons unto me

from the empty hall

from the galleries

and so i must go

leave you here today

cause the neon sky orders me away
