"Neon Sky" lyrics

There's the neon sky that I know so well
There's the smoky room where I chose to dwell
Though I hear your heart many miles away
The neon sky tells me I must stay

Through the windy field of another land
I have seen your face, girl, I've held your hand
Though I should be there, with you there today
The neon sky knows that I must stay

'Cause the devil's red but his money's green
And it's where I'm from, oh, it's where I've been

On a dusty stage many years ago
I chose my road, still I hope you know
That there'll come a day 'neath the neon sky
When we'll walk into the sun, you and I

Yes, now he calls, beckons unto me
From the empty hall, from the galleries
And so I must go, leave you here today
'Cause the neon sky orders me away

'Cause the devil's red but his money's green
And it's where I'm from, oh, it's where I've been
