Selling treasures of the night time 'til night is gone
And then when the party's over, everybody's gone away
We stare at an empty day, what is there to do or say?

Night time is where we live
Night is when we give everything we have to give
Most lovers can rejoice, we don't have a choice
We just know we have to give
That's why the day can never be bright
For the girls of the night

Somehow I know there's a someday that's just for me
Everybody has a someday, so why not me?
Lucy, do you really need to fill your heart with empty dreams?
You'll always be what you are, stop chasing that distant star

Night time is where we live
Night is when we give everything we have to give
Most lovers can rejoice, we don't have a choice
We just know we have to give
That's why the day can never be bright
For the girls of the night

Fly away, fly away, let me find my wings
Let me be the girl I want to be
I'm afraid to fly away, for all I have is here
I have my hopes

I have a child and children must be fed
Forget your hopes, or you will be misled
With the dawn they disappear
Then why are mine still here?

Fly away, fly away, fly away

Ask me to share your fantasies, dear
But don't ask me where tomorrow is
Don't ask me where to find happiness
Though I know for sure where sorrow is

Sorrow is where the dark meets the light
Someday I pray my fears will take flight

Sorrow is where all hope fades from sight
For the girls of the night
We're the girls of the night
Just the girls of the night

Selling treasures of the night time 'til night is gone
