Under starless skies // the harbour sings
My silver compass // keeps its promise rings
As waves crash on the shore // I see it all
The windswept wharf // where love calls
Memories unfurl // like a sail catching wind
Echoes of a life // that we once could bind
Beneath the city's crown // our dream has slipped
In this perpetual gloom // I search for what's left
Neon nightwatch // over Sydney's bay
I'll keep my heart ablaze // guiding love astray
Midnight's endless chase // where shadows play
Will lead me to the dawn // of a brighter day
Ghostly palm trees sway // in a dance divine
Café whispers fade // as the city's prime
Dusk melts like a dream // into the urban sprawl
A fleeting evening tale // for all to recall
Memories unfurl // like a sail catching wind
Echoes of a life // that we once could bind
Beneath the city's crown // our dream has slipped
In this perpetual gloom // I search for what's left
Neon nightwatch // over Sydney's bay
I'll keep my heart ablaze // guiding love astray
Midnight's endless chase // where shadows play
Will lead me to the dawn // of a brighter day
Streetlights flicker // siren wails echo through
A city's restless heartbeat // never still, ever true
In the neon's gaze // I see the light I've missed
A compass keeps on pointing // towards the love I've kissed
Neon nightwatch // over Sydney's bay
I'll keep my heart ablaze // guiding love astray
Midnight's endless chase // where shadows play
Will lead me to the dawn // of a brighter day
Neon fades to blue // as dawn breaks through
A city's secrets sleep // until the night anew.
