Coffee mug in my hand
The last train's long departed
Neon signs gleam in the night
Lonely streets keep their secrets
Subway rush fades to calm
City whispers its lullaby
Every lost soul on the move
Crossing paths, passing by
In this urban lullaby
The night's sweet serenade
My porcelain friend calls to me
As shadows softly sway
Buskers strum their final notes
Raindrops pitter on the pavement
Emergency exit lights
Stand sentinel, watchful beacons
Subway rush fades to calm
City whispers its lullaby
Every lost soul on the move
Crossing paths, passing by
In this urban lullaby
The night's sweet serenade
My porcelain friend calls to me
As shadows softly sway
In the neon glow I find
A sense of belonging here
Under stars obscured by steel
This concrete world, my sphere
In this urban lullaby
The night's sweet serenade
My porcelain friend calls to me
As shadows softly sway
Streetlamp hum subsides
Cardboard boxes gather dawn
Muted rumble of the tracks
Guides the new day home
