Babylon Lyrics

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind, I've been a fool
To open up my heart to all that jealousy,
That bitterness, that ridicule

Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
Chemicals are rushing in my bloodstream

Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

And if you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

Sunday all the lights of London shining,
Sky is fading red to blue
Kicking through the autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to

Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me

And if you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt

Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Babylon, Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

Babylon

This is about a guy whose girlfriend who has left him. Once he realizes he has allowed fear to block his path to love, he decides he wants her back.

Gray is a singer/songwriter born in Manchester, England. He recorded his first album in 1993. After the failure of that and his two subsequent albums due to neglect from prior record labels, it was thanks to the tuned ear of Dave Matthews that Gray finally found success. Matthews signed Gray to his label, ATO Records and put out Gray's album White Ladder. This was the first single; it captured the attention of listeners and quickly spread like wildfire on radio stations worldwide. White Ladder gradually built up sales and in the UK it finally hit the #1 spot 2 years and 5 months after it was released, the second longest run to #1 by any album. Only T Rex's "My People Were Fair And Had sky In Their Hair" took longer, at nearly 4 years.

Babylon was a major city in Mesopotamia, and is located in what is now Iraq. The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon are one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world.
