Song To The City

Lyrics for Song To The City

Your skyline says that nobody knows they're ground here Your noontime sunset's seldom seen around here Somewhere a ticket is torn Somehow somebody's born for once in their life And the old ones sit in their windows And wait for their sons to survive The hungry pawn shop sailors are wading through you In search of half-night ladies they could be good to One stays once in a while Sometimes a lady will smile out of her life Doubting her life I might believe a comedy you could show me If only mid-life lovers were not so lonely Love life locked in a room Sometimes shadows at noon show it's alive So the old ones sit in their windows And wait for their sons to survive They hear their midnight melody from the window
