city story Lyrics

The folk in the city don't take too well

To small uncertain people like you and me

And the monoliths block out the view

But we have to get used to it

And I'm seeing myself from all sides

And I didn't ask to live in a mirror

Because then I'm always reminded

Of how much better I could be

The folk in the city start to warm to us

They talk in the streets and the sun glows in

It's still a little cold, but I know the feeling

And the sunsets still strike me right down in my chest

I start to write a book

To let them know how it was where I'm from

Because they have no idea what we had

But it must be quite nice to find out

The folk in the city took me as their own

But you stayed away and now you're alone

I don't remember you, you're just a face

And now you've gone home, but I didn't say goodbye to you

Nor will I ever do so
