In the city you had to watch out for yourself And rely on the help from nobody else It was a cold, dark and lonely place Far from the green embrace Down the street your hab looked over the scene Where the mobsters carried out their silent routine It was a cold, dark and lonely place Far from the green embrace It's a hard goodbye When you've lost what you thought you knew Janey, please reply Was there something I could have done for you Now the lights don't shine from your window no more There's debris and rubble lying on the floor In this cold, dark and lonely place Far from the green embrace It's a hard goodbye When you've lost what you thought you knew Janey, please reply Was there something I could have done for you It's a hard goodbye When you've lost what you thought you knew Janey, please reply Was there something I could have done for you Hard goodbye When you've lost what you thought you knew Janey, please reply Was there something I could have done for you
