Day or Night Lyrics

-- music by Bill Payne
-- lyrics by Bill Payne, Fran Tate 

You can say what you want 
People runnin', talkin', it's all going on up and down the street 
Young girls selling their wares, no cares 
Ah, history's left its mark, aha 
Old folks that were able 
Now can table it at their own expense 
They wouldn't miss it, they don't care if it's day or night 

Oh the city she makes 
Sometimes your soul to feel floating just like a leaf in the wind 
Street is stream so it carries you past your present schemes 'til there is no end 
Left right in the alley 
No one catches you but the gentle wind 

There ain't no Jane, no Jill, no Sally to see you through 
There ain't no Jane, no Jill, no Sally to see you through 

So you do what you want 
And pretend again that it's time to roam 'cause you can't go home 
Maybe you'll find your way today, 
But while you're at it you'll have some fun 
And through tears of laughter 
You know it's nothing until you find someone 
You wouldn't miss it 
You don't care if it's day or night
