City of Light - The Wooden Sky[00:00:05]

When I was a young boy [00:00:39]

She used to come to me at night[00:00:40]

And wait by my window [00:00:45]

Just begging to come inside [00:00:47]

Now ever since I was eighteen [00:00:52]

She's been trying to run my life [00:00:54]

When she called me to go to her [00:00:58]

There was no place I could hide [00:01:01]

At the first signs of winter [00:01:20]

I went back to be inside [00:01:22]

Arms reached out to hold me[00:01:27]

And I shunned them with denial [00:01:29]

Said "I never cared for you [00:01:33]

I was always doing fine [00:01:35]

Why did you come back here[00:01:40]

If you can just watch it fine "[00:01:42]

So I ran through the city at night [00:01:47]

The sound of her voice[00:01:50]

Proved a haunting disguise [00:01:51]

Soon I was lost caught up in the lights [00:01:53]

And if I felt empty at least I was high [00:01:57]

Oh city of light [00:01:59]

City of light[00:02:02]

Oh city of[00:02:03]

And in the morning I felt her breath[00:02:18]

Hot against my neck [00:02:20]

Mostly it never bothered me [00:02:24]

Though sometimes I'll admit [00:02:27]

They're feeling all but surrounding;[00:02:31]

I let it come to this [00:02:33]

Darling do what you promised me[00:02:37]

And don't act like you forget [00:02:40]

So I'll run through the city at night [00:02:47]

The sidewalks were empty [00:02:51]

The streets were on fire [00:02:52]

She filled me up new kind of desire [00:02:54]

Though I was helpless [00:02:57]

I sure felt alive [00:02:59]

Oh city of light [00:03:00]

City of light [00:03:02]

Oh city of[00:03:03]

Now all that defines me[00:03:20]

Is a place where I welcome death [00:03:22]

Let my family behold me[00:03:26]

When those streetlights came possessed [00:03:28]

But all that they held on me [00:03:33]

Those nights I wrestled with [00:03:35]

Maybe we both could be[00:03:40]

Someplace where I could rest [00:03:42]

So she danced while I covered my eyes [00:03:46]

Made her feel safe[00:03:49]

To pretend I was blind [00:03:51]

I had a place:[00:03:53]

I would go in my mind [00:03:54]

There you were sober and able to cry [00:03:56]

Oh city of light [00:03:59]

City of light [00:04:01]

You've got some nerve [00:04:03]

Coming back in my life [00:04:04]

City of light [00:04:06]

City of light [00:04:08]

They strung you up here[00:04:09]

And left you to die [00:04:11]

City of light [00:04:13]

City of light [00:04:14]

City of light[00:04:16]
