The Natives Are Restless Tonight - Horace Silver

Alone among the hills and stone Through summer sun and winter snow The eagle he was lord above And Rob was lord below 240 years We lived without hope and without pride So who will know where they come from Who raised a torch for those who died I will be with them In the summer sun And the winter snow They will come and clouds will go And show that we are proud again Though all we lost in autumn days Cannot be born again Stand here by me Until the ways of age and youth Are one and same

When the hours move to fast It seemed like time was running wild But was never gonna last Tell me now what you must say I've been waiting all these years And one to many days Can you tell me where you are I've been looking around near and far I lost your eyes from the light Oh will you dream of me tonight Oh will you dream of me tonight You always watch your bridges burn Making up for lost time You never miss your turn Take one last look around There's no one waiting for you here In this lonely one horse town Can you tell me where you are I've been looking around near and far I lost your eyes from the light Oh will you dream of me tonight Oh will you dream of me tonight Hold me close and I will tell you all the things That I don't See in you There are no answers for you here in my arms At least no answers That are true That are true That are true That are true Can you tell me where you are I've been looking around near and far I lost your eyes from the light Oh will you dream of me tonight Oh will you dream of me tonight Oh will you dream of me tonight Oh will you dream of me tonight

Do you know why you've got feelings in your heart Don't let fear of feeling fool you What you see sets you apart And there's nothing here to bind you, It's no way for life to start But do you know that Tonight, the streets are ours Tonight, the streets are ours And these lights in our hearts they tell no lies Those people, they got nothing in their souls And they make our TVs blind us From our vision and our goals Oh the trigger of time it tricks you So you have no way to grow But do you know that Tonight, the streets are ours Tonight, the streets are ours These lights in our hearts, they tell no lies And no one else can haunt me The way that you can haunt me I need to know you want me I couldn't be without you And the light that shines around you No, nothing ever mattered more than not doubting But tonight the streets are ours Do you know how to kill loneliness at last Oh there's so much there to heal dear And make tears things of the past But do you know that Tonight, the streets are ours Tonight, the streets are ours These lights in our street are ours Tonight, the streets are ours And these lights in our hearts they tell no lies
