lyrics

riding round into durham town
in the early-morning mist and the rain coming down
watch the fog come in over the wear
and the london-bound train whistles in my ear
from silver street and down to market square
there's a special kind of feeling and it's everywhere
winter howls but there's nobody minds
when we're down here in the elm by a quarter to nine

oh please, won't you make this night last forever?
and i swear i'm never letting go of this treasure
but the morning came and stole those times away,
yes the morning came and stole those times
away, away, day by day by day
away, away, stole those times away

it's sunday morning and the bells are ringing
and the skies are blue, the whole world is singing
i should be happy but i think it's plain
that the durham city blues have got me again
riding home on the 218
but i went and left my heart back in millburngate
now i stare from my window at the falling rain
and i'm counting down the hours just to be there again

oh please, won't you make this night last forever?
and i swear i'm never letting go of this treasure
but the morning came and stole those times away
yes the morning and stole those times away
when tomorrow comes you better wipe those tears away
yes the morning come so wipe those tears
away, away, i'm going to wipe those tears away
