Oh, I walk these streets the whole night through
people walk by without a worry or care
I played pool with a biker till two
I listened to a street poet tell of a lost love
Oh, he brought tears to my eyes with memories of you
I kicked a can under a street light and thought

Oh, I walk these streets the whole night through
I saw your face in every woman that passed by
I saw your face in a love song from a car that passed by
Oh, you keep me awake at night

I came home in the early morning light
and tried get some rest and sleep
but all I saw was you in my head
Oh, when I dream I hold you in my arms
and say the words I once said
when I wake I'm so sad your not by my side

Oh, I walk these streets the whole night through
I saw your face in every woman that passed by
I saw your face in a love song from a car that passed by
Oh, you keep me awake at night
