    Downtown Lights Lyrics:
    Sometimes I walk away
    When all I really wanna do
    Is love and hold you right
    There is just one thing I can say
    Nobody loves you this way
    It's alright
    Can't you see?
    The downtown lights
    In love we're all the same
    We're walking down an empty street
    And with nobody, call your name
    Empty streets, empty nights
    The downtown lights
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know it's true?
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's alright
    Tonight and every night
    Let's go walking down this empty street
    Let's walk in the cool evening light
    Wrong or right
    Be at my side
    The downtown lights
    It will be alright
    It will be alright
    The downtown lights
    Yeah, yeah
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know it's true?
    It's alright
    It's alright
    The downtown lights
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know you feel it?
    How do I know it's true?
    Yeah, yeah, the downtown lights
    The neon's and the cigarettes
    Rented rooms and rented cars
    The crowded streets, the empty bars
    Chimney tops and trumpets
    The golden lights, the loving prayers
    The coloured shoes, the empty trains
    I'm tired of crying on the stairs
    The downtown lights
    Yeah, yeah

    Paul Buchanan is the one that got away from stardom, truly.
    He composed some of the most beautiful songs of the 80s and they gave him nothing in return.

    As an off--the-charts fan of the Blue Nile, to even conceive to take on a one of the most beautiful love songs of the last 50 years, not just by the band, but by any artist....and stand upright against the original and land where KEANE does here?! Courageous and absolutely one of the best cover songs I've heard in years. Here's why: it makes me appreciate the original even more and love this version as much.

    I don't care what people say, but for more than 8 years I have observed that ONLY Keane has enough passion for music to take a song and turn it into an amazing new hymn....... I am also blown away by how Tom's voice & Tim's piano are getting more powerful with time...... for me, a new Keane era is beginning and a lot of people in the music industry will have to swallow their past words.........

    It’s one of the best things about The Blue Nile. The Melodies, sound and words are so painstakingly and generously crafted as to allow the listener their own personal piece of gold within, and then sing it with that meaning.
