And if in love she cried
Something wasn't right
I'm sorry
Would be easy
To say I love you

Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
I go, yeah

Close your eyes
Come with me
Only love is alive
Close your eyes
Can't you see
Only love will survive, yeah

Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
I love you

Headlights on the parade
Light up the way
I've made up my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Only love will survive
Yeah
The city wins while you and I
Can't find a way
Oh, headlights on the parade, yeah, yeah

Fly little angel
Fly little angel
Yeah

I tried several Blue Nile uploads that were nixed. These guys belong on RP. And more songs should be added to the list. Listeners should not confuse simplicity with quality from this songwriter. Occasionally genius and his lyrics are masterful.

If nothing else we should thank him for stealing Peter Gabriel's wife which subsequently resulted in some of Peter's greatest music.
 
Definitely agree about wanting more Blue Nile here, they're perfect for RP - would love to hear "From a Late Night Train" or "Wish me well" here.

I think you mean Rosanna Arquette, whom Paul Buchanan dated after she'd been with Peter Gabriel for a few years (though she never married Gabriel)? No idea if he "stole" her or if she and Gabriel were finished by then - he clearly didn't take it too personally, since Buchanan was subsequently involved with Gabriel's Millenium Dome show "Ovo".

It's an acquired taste..."Downtown Lights" is still my fave from them, but this one's decent.

After 3 years of listening to RP, this is only the second Blue Nile song that has been played. Is there a trend being established here? One can only hope. Thanks
