Don't Forget Me

(Al Stewart/Peter White) The sun is going down across The great unknown Lights come on inside the towers made of stone A muffled drum plays Out of sight and all alone Summer is over The city lies awake And breathes electric air The sailor in the bar Dreams of a love affair Young girls seem to shimmer In fluorescent glare Summer is over It's a never ending show Faces come and go Like a river You're a rainbow Wrapped in gray Shake the dust away Like a river CHORUS But don't forget me Don't forget me now Don't forget me Don't forget me now The crowd is spilling >From the video arcade The owner of the restaurant Pulls down the shade The thunder of the trucks Is like a cannonade But now it's over CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
