City Streets
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been feeling this too long
When you leave it all goes wrong
The only thing I know is it isn't right
Busy streets have lost their rush
Buildings towered turned to dust
Like everything just disappeared in the night
It's when I walk these city streets I realize the time that just went by
(don't you know)
Like an old friend I hardly know now that I've been away for all this time
I was hoping this would pass
But once it's here, it's here to last
I wish it could just all remain the same
I'm a stranger when I'm home
'Cause all alone is all I know
That's what happens when you go astray
It's when I walk these city streets I realize the time that just went by
(that just went by)
Like an old friend I hardly know now that I've been away for all this time
I know I've made my bed
Sad thoughts are in my head
Barely holding back the tears
But when I watch the living dead
Wake up and break their bread
I know it's not for me
It's when I walk these city streets I realize the time that just went by
(don't you know)
Like an old friend I hardly know now that I've been away for all this time
Oohhh oohhh oooohhh
Ooooohhh oooohhh oooohhh
You're on your own/ you have to hold/ onto what you/ feel's rightly yours
Don't let anyone tell you it ain't worth the time
(repeat)
