City Of Lights |
|
I arrived in the city of lights |
|
Enchanted ballrooms where I lost my life |
|
I've closed my eyes |
|
On your fairground smile |
|
Seedy heroes and silver tills |
|
Sinking suns on a sea of thrills |
|
I place my bets |
|
Trading with strangers in silhouette |
|
I drink your health, son of the earth |
|
Passing ships in the modern death |
|
We're all still fired |
|
Old emotions still burn inside |
|
On solid ground, round the mother tongue |
|
A tower of hope, a joyful sound |
|
You take your time |
|
A hand of aces in a pack of lies |
|
I found my song and I started to sing |
|
Took me away on an olden wing |
|
So far from home |
|
Standing so lonely but not alone |
|
In this empire of ache and rhyme |
|
Lovers and best friends are running blind |
|
I grasp your hand |
|
Is this the only world I understand |
|
There's a sadness |
|
There's a joy |
|
There's a place |
|
There's a song that will never die |
|
Forever |
