Foreign Nights (Working Dog In Babylon)

Heat Dust Dreams

Foreign Nights (Working Dog In Babylon)

(for Jenny)


I'm a working alien in a land of heat and stone

a casulaty of an economic war

that took me away from home.

It's the politics of money and power

It's the hope that we can build a future in world

getting smaller everywhere


Bridge:

I can hear a siren in the workyard

another shift and I'll be closer to you

I'm a working dog in Babylon and only

your love can get me through


Chorus:

Foreign nights -- took you away from me

Foreign nights -- are not where I belong

Foreign nights -- filled with dust and dreams

Foreign nights -- trapped me in Babylon



AS long as I keep moving

I know I will be all right

cause if I stop to think I'll drown and sink

in the sea of foreign nights

I've got to keep my hands busy

got to keep pushing through

got to learn to deal with this time away from you


Bridge:

I can hear a siren in the workyard

another shift and I'll be closer to you

I'm a working dog in Babylon and only

your love can get me through


Chorus....


Quiet moments in the dark are hardest to face

the sun goes down but not the pain

I want to be with you all the time

I want to be with you, to be with you all my life

I'm going to have to get through... foreign nights.
