Manfred Mann - Cubist Town lyrics

It was La Rue Apollinaire I wandered round and round the busy square I turned and floated gently upside down And one by one the people gathered round The rivers and the bridges turn to blue The thin edge of the night is creeping through The orange sun is dying on the line And slowly melts into the sea of wine Good night, cubist town, good night The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bridal pair slip quietly away The table groans the evening meal's begun The wedding song of love has just been sung But there's too much of this, too much for me I go outside where darkness sets me free Good night, cubist town, good night The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bridal pair slip quietly away I thought I saw the house where you were born A yellow house, the colour of the corn I thought I saw strange beasts up in the sky But music filled my mind and they pa**ed by Good night, cubist town, good night The day has vanished with the night The light has vanished with the day And the bridal pair slip quietly away But music filled my mind, and they pa**ed by Good night, cubist town, good night The day has vanished with the night Good night, cubist town, good night The night has vanished with the day Good night, cubist town, good night The day has vanished with the night Good night, cubist town, good night
