Artist/Band: Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: City Cries At Night
Lyrics for Album: Just for You [RCA] [1970]



(Eddie Miller)



Have you ever stopped and listened

At the way that a city sheds its tears

At the screams of the junky

Who needs nothing more than just a needle by.



I can smell the grass a burnin'

Some fool next door wants to charge his mind

These apartment walls are thin

And the sound just walks right in.

Tells me how the city cries at night.



Some drunk he stumbles from the curb

And mumbles and he tries to hail a cab

Some woman runs out from a bar

A shoutin' that her lover's in a fight.



That old meet wagon's rollin'

I guess somebody's either hurt or died

The corner preacher just begins

To tell us all about our sins.

That's another way the city cries at night.



I hear a sirene whinin'

And that sound don't help to lift a lonely soul

I smell the wrapper burnin'

Two cats are draggin' out from light to light.



Some wino walks along the curb

And drinks his empty bottle in the street

These apartment walls are thin

And the sound just walks right in,

Tells me how the city cries at night.



The jet eats up the runway

As it moans and groans and reaches for the blue

My baby rides her wings

She's got a lovin' with some swinging disco guy.



She left her screamin' heart behind

When her lips made the sound of goodbye

The walls of my heart are thin

And the hurt it just walks right in.

Tells me how the city cries at night.



The walls of my heart are thin

And the hurt it just walks right in.

Tells me how the city cries at night...
