In The City - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:00]
Written by:Carrie Newc[00:00:00]
Chalk one up for the street[00:00:01]
Mark one down for the city[00:00:05]
One more grown baby boy is sleepin' on the sidewalk tonight[00:00:09]
Wide round eyes[00:00:14]
Wide round lights[00:00:16]
Can be shine but without substance[00:00:18]
In an instant[00:00:21]
You can hear an angel[00:00:23]
Spread it's wings and fly away[00:00:25]
In the city[00:00:31]
Where you can lay down your dreams[00:00:34]
You can feel it through the sidewalk[00:00:38]
A heartbeat beneath your feet[00:00:41]
Where they'll let you smell the water[00:00:45]
But tell you you can't drink[00:00:48]
You're in the city now[00:00:51]
In the city now[00:00:55]
There's a cry[00:00:59]
There's a roar[00:01:00]
There's a howl that never ends[00:01:02]
There's a silence[00:01:06]
That runs wide[00:01:07]
As it runs deep[00:01:09]
And unspoken broken people[00:01:13]
Who are lying in the doorways[00:01:17]
The light within them[00:01:20]
Sputters and flickers[00:01:22]
Like it almost never been[00:01:25]
In the city[00:01:30]
Where you can lay down your dreams[00:01:34]
You can feel it through the sidewalk[00:01:37]
A heartbeat beneath your feet[00:01:41]
Where they'll let you smell the water[00:01:44]
But tell you you can't drink[00:01:48]
You're in the city now[00:01:51]
You're in the city[00:01:54]
You're in the city now[00:01:58]
Now[00:02:02]
Far away[00:02:05]
Far away[00:02:06]
Maybe you still near you can still hear[00:02:10]
Someone[00:02:16]
Saying[00:02:18]
There's a light[00:02:23]
It is you[00:02:25]
There's a light[00:02:27]
It is me[00:02:28]
There's a hope that's round and hollow[00:02:30]
Like a paper moon on a string[00:02:34]
We can be perfect[00:02:37]
We can be stronger[00:02:39]
Saints are sinners who just tried longer[00:02:41]
I am certainly no saint[00:02:44]
But I surely heard the call[00:02:49]
In the city[00:02:54]
Where you can lay down your dreams[00:02:58]
You can feel it through the sidewalk[00:03:01]
A heartbeat beneath your feet[00:03:04]
Where they'll let you smell the water[00:03:08]
But tell you you can't drink[00:03:11]
You're in the city now[00:03:15]
You're in the city now[00:03:18]
You're in the city[00:03:25]
Oh[00:03:30]
