Streetlight

Lyrics by David Rebeiro Music by David Rebeiro and Craig Pinkney

Let me take you on a journey down the lanes through my humanity
Of how we played the game so well from childhood to vanity
Some little things get left behind is that how you crept into my mind so free
To when we kissed under the

Streetlight it was everything that mattered
Under the streetlight all the worlds in black and white

It makes me wonder if love died and washed away in tears she cried for me
I could have sworn I set her free


A younger man no wiser than the boy he used to be
To meet a man much older than the young man will ever be
He holds the money in his hand and when he scores he's off to see the band
And they deal under the

Streetlight it was everything that mattered
Under the streetlight all the worlds in black and white

His girl works hard to earn the rent and wonders where the money went she'll see
When she opens up her eyes she's been the fool it's no big surprise
She'll see the streetlight it never lies and then she wonders
Was she just one more tragic
And while the night's still young the streetlight shines for everyone
There's only shadows only shadows hanging 'round.

A working girl lives in a world of flesh and fantasy
Her clientele drive through her hell and window shop for free
She smiles to mask the tears she's cried
And all the while she keeps the shame inside
As she parades under the

Streetlight it was everything that mattered
Under the streetlight all the worlds in black and white

Her mother would cry out if she knew
While mothers little helpers help her through
Another night under the Streetlight

Under the streetlight.
