In The City |
Chalk one up for the street |
Mark one down for the city |
One more grown baby boy is sleepin' on the sidewalk tonight |
Wide round eyes, wide round lights |
Can be full but without substance |
In an instant you can hear an angel |
Spread its wings and fly away |
You’re in the city |
Where you lay down your dreams |
You can feel it, through the sidewalk |
A heartbeat beneath your feet |
Where they’ll let you smell the water |
Then tell you «you can’t drink |
You’re in the city now» |
There’s a cry, there’s a roar |
There’s a howl that never ends |
There’s a silence that runs wide as it runs deep |
And unspoken, broken people |
Lying in the doorways |
The light within them sputters and flickers |
Like it almost had never been |
You’re in the city |
Where you lay down your dreams |
You can feel it, through the sidewalk |
A heartbeat beneath your feet |
Where they’ll let you smell the water |
Then tell you «you can’t drink |
You’re in the city now» |
There’s a light and it is you |
There’s a light and it is me |
There’s a hope that’s round and hollow |
As a paper moon on a string |
We can be perfect, we can be stronger |
Saints are sinners who just tried longer |
I am certainly no saint |
But I surely heard the call |
You’re in the city |
Where you lay down your dreams |
You can feel it, through the sidewalk |
A heartbeat beneath your feet |
Where they’ll let you smell the water |
Then tell you «you can’t drink |
You’re in the city now» |
