It might've been the angels
fallin' in the street
it could've been the stars crashin'
every time we meet
it might've been a ghost train
wailin' out of sight
but it had to be you
in the heart of the night

If someone takes a dagger
hold it to your throat
might be time to get ready
time to grab your coat
there's nothin' in the harbour
just the dead city light
you're lost on a corner
in the heart of the night

Take the flame
hold it up higher
light my soul
set it on fire

You might get a warning
or maybe just a sign
don't be in a hurry
to find out why
because there's nothin' in the harbour
just the dead city light
you're runnin' away from me
in the heart of the night
