Lost to the Streets

He used to hold me close on summer nights

Now the corner lights took him from my sight

The streets keep calling, I hear them loud

His name gets lost inside the crowd

My man gone to the streets, gone to the dance hall

I'm crying in the dark while the city takes it all

I reach for his heart, but he slips away

Lost in the rhythm, not coming home today

I leave the door unlocked, I keep the light on

Praying for the moments that we had and lost them

The drums keep running like a broken train

And if it'd only be, just be too vain

My man gone to the streets, gone to the dance floor

I'm crying in the dark while the city takes it off

I reach for his heart, but he slips away

Lost in the rhythm, not coming home today

If love could pull him back through the smoke and sound

I'd send his soul away from that restless ground

But the night keeps winning and I stand alone

A desperate girlfriend waiting by the phone

My man gone to the streets, gone to the dancehall

I'm crying in the dark while the city takes it all

I reach for his heart, but he slips away

Lost in the rhythm, not coming home today
