Every night is the same I walk to her iron gate
And as a train goes by I sneak inside to see
Well maybe I'm no good at giving up a thing I should
Set it free the want for one so out of reach
But when the lights go out on Barber Street
I just close my eyes and start to dream
Of Genevieve

Every night is the same I walk to her iron gate

And as a train goes by I sneak inside to see

Well maybe I'm no good at giving up a thing I should

Set it free the want for one so out of reach

But when the lights go out on Barber Street

I just close my eyes and start to dream
