Sidewalks of the City |
Gurf Morlix Electric and acoustic guitar/background vocals |
Duane Jarvis Electric guitar |
Dr. John Ciambotti Bass |
Donald Lindley Drums and percussion |
Doug Atwell fiddle |
As you walk along the sidewalks of the city |
You see a man with hunger in his face |
And all around you crumbling buildings and graffiti |
As you bend down to tie your shoelace |
Sirens scream but you don’t listen |
You have to reach home before night |
But now the sun beats down it makes the sidewalks glisten |
And somehow you just don’t feel right |
Hold me, baby, give me some faith |
Let me know you’re there let me touch your face |
Give me love give me grace |
Tell me good things tell me that my world is safe |
You pass by bars with empty stages |
Three o’clock drinkers fall by Chairs are placed on top of tables |
As you brush the hair out of your eyes |
A woman stops you with a question |
So you drop some money in her hand |
She sleeps in doorways and bus stations |
And you’ll never understand |
Hold me, baby, give me some faith |
Give me love give me grace |
Tell me good things tell me that my world is safe |
