Lyrics
Night bus rolling through the town Rain is sliding down the glass Streetlights gold and sliding by I watch the empty city pass Night bus, carry me slow Past the shops with their shutters low Night bus, carry me home City lights rolling, I'm not alone Driver hums a tune so low Two old ladies share a seat Someone sleeping on the stairs A soft light on the empty street Night bus, carry me slow Past the shops with their shutters low Night bus, carry me home City lights rolling, I'm not alone Every stop a little light Every door a sigh Think of you across the town Watching the same sky My stop is coming, ring the bell Cold air waits outside One more look at the window glow Then I step out with the tide Night bus, carry me slow Past the shops with their shutters low Night bus, carry me home City lights rolling, I'm not alone Night bus, night bus Carry me home
