Night Fare Home (Version 3)

Verse

Streetlight flickers, taxi rank's dead

Numbers queuing in my head

Top deck window, breath on the glass

Watch the last of the dark go past

Card machine beeps, driver don't mind

Seat still warm from the one behind

Bassline fading out of my ears

Four in the morning, nobody near

Pre-Chorus

Windows fogging, can't see the road

Heart still moving to the old tempo

Streetlights blinking one by one

Chasing the edge of the coming sun

Chorus

Night fare home, night fare home

Riding the glow til the dark is gone

Half asleep but I feel it still

Night fare home, over the hill

Verse

Traffic lights turning amber to gold

Hoodie zipped up against the cold

Phone at nine percent, don't care

Playlist looping the same old air

Bus stop shelters blur into one

Someone's laughing, someone's done

Bag of chips gone cold on my lap

Head against the window, taking the nap

Pre-Chorus

Windows fogging, can't see the road

Heart still moving to the old tempo

Streetlights blinking one by one

Chasing the edge of the coming sun

Chorus

Night fare home, night fare home

Riding the glow til the dark is gone

Half asleep but I feel it still

Night fare home, over the hill

Bridge

Sky turns the colour of a corner shop sign

Pink over rooftops, and I'm still fine

Driver hums something I don't know

Radio crackles, low and slow

This is the part nobody sees

Just me, the sunrise, and the wheels underneath

Chorus

Night fare home, night fare home

Riding the glow til the dark is gone

Half asleep but I feel it still

Night fare home, over the hill
