Lyrics
Back seat glowing, city asleep Streetlights sliding across my hands The driver hums a song he knows Pink in the sky where the dark ends Every window's a painted screen Neon fading into gold We tell the night we're not afraid Of the morning growing bold Fading lights, rising sun Close your eyes, here it comes Ride, ride, ride, ride Night cab, night cab, take us home Daydream gleaming where we roam Neon turning into dawn Hold on, hold on, we're moving on Night cab, night cab, sparkle bright Chasing every drop of light Neon turning into day Ride with me, all the way Driver tells us about the town How the bakers wake up first How the river wears the sunrise Like a crown, before it bursts We trade our secrets in the glow Laughing low and soft The meter ticks a little tune And the sky just lifts us aloft Fading lights, rising sun Close your eyes, here it comes Ride, ride, ride, ride Night cab, night cab, take us home Daydream gleaming where we roam Neon turning into dawn Hold on, hold on, we're moving on Night cab, night cab, sparkle bright Chasing every drop of light Neon turning into day Ride with me, all the way I don't want the ride to end Not yet, not yet Let the road go on and on Golden and wet Night cab, night cab, take us home Daydream gleaming where we roam Neon turning into dawn Hold on, hold on, we're moving on Night cab, night cab, sparkle bright Chasing every drop of light Neon turning into day Ride with me, all the way Night cab, take us home Neon turning into day
