Lyrics Song of the City - Isidore, Steve Kilbey

Song of the City

I saw it with my eyes
Open and visibly
I heard it with my mind
Just imperceptibly
I thought it with my heart
Just like a silver ray
Turned it in my hand
Gives me the chance to pray
Start in the darkest part
Looked to the distant past
Song of the city
Song of the road
Start in the darkest part
Looked to the distant past
Song of the city
Song of the road
I took it with my night
I take it up every day
I thought that I was right
I thought it was right away
I waited around
Until you deined to appear
Created a sound
Bound to bring pain to my ears
Start in the darkest part
Look in the distant past
Song of the city
Song of the road
Start in the darkest part
Look to the distant past
Song of the city
Song of the road
Selling you on the way there
And get a good price for you
And making it nice for you
I kicked up a fuss
I picked up a mountain range
I pricked up my ears
I nicked up the candle bridge
I buried my loot
I wish for my day to come
I took off my boots
Looked at my fingers and thumbs
That was ok
To think about you all the time
And every day
You stayed
