The Night Sky

29 Oct 2007

One day i will be
Back in our old street
Safe from the noise that's
Falling around me

And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And there will be no sound

Open the bars and
Open the markets
Open the banks and
Open the churches

And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And there will be no sound

We've been cowering so long
Oh what i would give
To stand at the bus stop
Or browse in a bookshop
To sleep and always be still

And we'll release this town from the people
Who are trying to knock it down
And then only city lights will brighten the night sky
And i will be set free from the people
Who are trying to bury me
And then only fireworks will light the sky at night
For all the world can see

i have to say that anything with toms voice is brought to life and what a combination of energy the three of you combined give to the music. The older i get the more cynical i become yet there is nothing i can fault in keane and the music definately refreshes the parts that others can't reach

This song is as if John Lennon was singing Imagine again here, nowadays. I love the spirit of the song is very touching. Love from Spain. The Rocket.
