Jim Ed Brown City Cries at Night Lyrics:
Have you ever stopped and listened at the way that
a city sheds its tears At the streams of the junky
who needs nothing more than just a needle by I can
smell a 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 heard her 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
