Lyrics
Lonely City
You and me in the middle of the night
Steal through the streets to make it all right
Last time, I don?t know when
Don?t tell me it?s a spiritual sin
Big city lights never seemed so bright
Asphalt jungle sprawls for miles
You babe you?re what brings me back tonight
Come on babe don?t let me go
Don?t you say goodbye
Cause you?ll never know
I might be the cross you bear
or your salvation
Lonely City, in this lonely city
Crazy city, insane delights
Lonely looks, empty nights
So many people, so few dreams
There?s got to be somewhere else to be
You crossed my mind for the Thousandth time
Come on baby it ain?t a crime
You never know I might be the
One you thought you?d never find
Come on babe don?t let me go
don?t say goodbye Cause you?ll never know
I might be the cross you bear
or your salvation
Fantasies they fill my mind
like the dusty rose
and the stale red wine
Heart beat rises catch my breath
I awake alone in my empty bed
No
Repeat first verse.
Chorus 3x?s and out
