City of black & white

This whole city´s black and white
Tell me what is your color.
Could it be the same as mine?
Faded greens and blue street lights,
There´s a red fire burning
From the sea up to the sky.
´Cause I don´t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I´d feel the rest of my life
You don´t want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Maybe it was you, that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
The city of black and white.
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay?
I´m on the top still looking down
And they´re coming up to me
It´s where the whole world wants to be found
Golden rings and coffee brown
There´s a white flag waving
Where my heart is on the ground.
´Cause I don´t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I´d feel the rest of my life
You don´t want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Maybe it was you that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
The city of black and white.
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay now
When the light goes
Under a dark street
No one else knows
So take my hand
I´ll carry you, you can carry me.
´Cause I don´t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I´d feel the rest of my life
You don´t want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Maybe it was you, that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
The city of black and white.
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay now?
Stay now, stay now, when the light glows.
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay?
Tell me what is your color.
Could it be the same as mine?
Faded greens and blue street lights,
There´s a red fire burning
From the sea up to the sky.
´Cause I don´t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I´d feel the rest of my life
You don´t want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Maybe it was you, that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
The city of black and white.
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay?
I´m on the top still looking down
And they´re coming up to me
It´s where the whole world wants to be found
Golden rings and coffee brown
There´s a white flag waving
Where my heart is on the ground.
´Cause I don´t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I´d feel the rest of my life
You don´t want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Maybe it was you that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
The city of black and white.
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay now
When the light goes
Under a dark street
No one else knows
So take my hand
I´ll carry you, you can carry me.
´Cause I don´t want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I´d feel the rest of my life
You don´t want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Maybe it was you, that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
The city of black and white.
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay now?
Stay now, stay now, when the light glows.
Won´t you just stay?
Won´t you just stay?
