Lyrics
Midnight on a street with no one out Just a cat on the fence and a dog without a doubt That the moon's on our side and the van's out of gas So we turn up the radio and let the hours pass There's a streetlight humming a note on the corner Yellow as honey, a little bit warmer We hop out the back and we start to sway Four boys dancing at the end of the day Waltz on the pavement, waltz in the glow Nowhere to be and nowhere to go Streetlight shining like a spotlight for two Or for four, or for anyone passing through Waltz on the pavement, slow and free Every window dark but the light for me Everything's quiet and everything's fine In the hum of the lamp and the white road line A porch swing creaks on a house nearby A curtain moves and a shadow goes by Someone's smiling, I can feel it from here Some songs don't need an audience near Waltz on the pavement, waltz in the glow Nowhere to be and nowhere to go Streetlight shining like a spotlight for two Or for four, or for anyone passing through Waltz on the pavement, slow and free Every window dark but the light for me Everything's quiet and everything's fine In the hum of the lamp and the white road line Tomorrow there's a highway, a gig and a name Tonight there's a lamp and it's all the same Let the world keep its hurry and its noise We've got a street, and a little poise Waltz on the pavement, waltz in the glow Nowhere to be and nowhere to go Streetlight shining like a spotlight for two Or for four, or for anyone passing through Waltz on the pavement, slow and free Every window dark but the light for me Everything's quiet and everything's fine In the hum of the lamp and the white road line Waltz on the pavement Waltz in the glow
