Peter Murphy - Gaslit lyrics

I come in time to see the kids They're throwing an all night party While their parents were away I went out to the bar alone Bars and cafés with gaslit men in the crowd Stand and almost marvelling Deep and holy, alone in their friendliness Will they be there tomorrow? And I'm going to temporarily leave my dreams And find my happy ending I am going to temporarily leave my dreams For a happy ending Wall to wall, pillar to post I'm back at the task that I love most
