Hi. I wrote a script. In the script we see a guy more than a few times sitting at a window in his apartment on the 20th floor gazing out at the sleeping city in the dead of night. Also, the whole story takes place in that city. I thought the title for the script could be one of these:
The city's silent lights. (1)
The silent lights of the city. (2)
The silent city lights. (3)
In my language there would only be one way to put this sentence that would sound OK (the word order of the first sentence), but in English there seems to be these three (maybe more), so I'm confused. Would they all sound equally OK/good to native speakers? If I don't want it to sound too poetic, which one of them would you go with, also taking in mind the information I gave you about my script? Thank you a lot.
