Here In the City |
| You don’t see many shadows here in the city |
| Only picturesque windows, all covered and dirty |
| Black and grey that once was new |
| Yesterday that once was you |
| No I can’t find my shadow in the city |
| We got canyons of smoke and steel-blue horizons |
| Our castles explode as the city lays dying |
| History that once was new |
| Memories that once were true |
| No I can’t find my shadow in the city |
| And oh, for the green green hills of home |
| For the hills I used to roam |
| So many years ago |
| Oh, for the love that’s now grown cold |
| For the love that’s now grown old |
| As the hills I used to know |
| You don’t find many lovers here in the jungle |
| Only magazine covers designed for the humble |
| Cold caress that burns and slides |
| Emptiness that’s hard to hide |
| Used to be I knew my mind |
| But I can’t find my shadow in the city |
| And oh, for the green green hills of home |
| For the hills I used to roam |
| So many years ago |
| Oh, for the love that’s now grown cold |
| For the love that’s now grown old |
| As the hills I used to know |
