Cliff Richard - Cities May Fall Lyrics

The city in defeat
With no one left to beat
There's still a fading desire
To burn a naked light
Just to defy the night
Come on and call me a liar

A crumble tumble down
In fumble bumble town
Our lives a ruin
We reconstruct a bit
And pretty up a bit
We hardly know what we're doing

But me and my baby
Make the best of this world
She's like a diamond, innocent girl
We watch the sign of the times
Writing on the wall cities may fall

Back through the city fog
I was another cog
For the machinery there
Now the machines have gone
The silence hanging on
I sit, I stare

But me and my baby
Make the best of this world
She's like a diamond, innocent girl
We watch the sign of the times
Writing on the wall cities may fall

Come on and take your aim
I feel the mildest pain
Protecting something so rare
'Cos there's a gem or two
Inside the human zoo
If only you are aware

But me and my baby
Make the best of this world
She's like a diamond, innocent girl
We watch the sign of the times
Writing on the wall cities may fall
