Somewhere In The City

Out on the ocean where the gold dusk turns to blueI let go of my heart and all my dreams of youI drown all the memories of crazy days and nightsClinging to the shoreline holding on with all my mightI swore I wouldn't envy all the lovers who've got a hand to holdAnd I'll stand with all the others nowThe dreams are bought and soldWhere are you now as this day comes to an end?Are you somewhere in the city?Can I find you there again?Where the sidewalk's hard and pretty and the neon plays all nightAnd the junkman sings his pity and the poets love the fightSomewhere in the city, somewhere in the cityAre you somewhere in the city tonight?What could I give you when you only wanted more?Where can I go now to be like I was before?Sometimes it's so hard living out this lifeTaking all the chances with the sharp edge of the knifeDid you find what you were after?Is your spirit flying free?Did you take your precious chains off ?Did you leave your heart with me?Where are you now as the twilight turns to black?Are you somewhere in the city?Have your footsteps led you back?Where the sidewalk's hard and pretty and the neon plays all nightAnd the junkman sings his pity and the poets love the fightSomewhere in the city, somewhere in the cityAre you somewhere in the city tonight?Oh if I close my eyes you and I are back in the nightUnderneath the street light moon drinking every drop of JuneSatisfiedLove was like a fire burning in your eyesIt took one spark to ignite itCarelessness to let it dieSo I go back to the ocean and I'll pick up all my dreamsI'll gather up my heart and all my memoriesCause tonight I feel it all around me deep down in my soulLike this darkness it surrounds me and it never lets me goSo I'll put on my coat and I'll turn off all these lightsI'll go down into the city and I'll wait for you tonightWhere the sidewalk's hard and pretty and the neon plays all nightAnd the junkman sings his pity and the poets love the fightSomewhere in the city, somewhere in the cityAre you somewhere in the city tonight?Are you somewhere in the city tonight?Are you somewhere in the city tonight?
