The Cars Were Running Up And Down The Street Lyrics

I opened the window to let the smoke out

The cars were running up and down the street

Projecting lights on my tired curtains

We were trying to sleep

In that quiet night

The silence getting loud into our ears

The cars were running up and down the street

Hissing through the branches of the trees near our window

And we were dreaming of Rome

All the Empires left to conquer

All the dreams left to dream

Embracing the soft night

Embracing the stars and the moon, Embracing ourselves

Counting all the nights we have left together

As the cars were running up and down the street
