Lyrics
Empire State
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.
There’s always gonna be something to rain on your parade
A shadow of a feeling to cloud a sunny day
But there’s light in you and light in me, even if it’s faint
So don’t let the dogs dim you down cause babe you are a flame
You can snuff it all out
The pain and the doubt
But don’t take the bait, it’s a waste
Of a beautiful fire
In the empire state
Look at all the buildings holding all the hearts
Each one a vision of life like little sparks
You can see them glowing while strolling through the park
In taxi cars and smoky bars, burning up the dark
You can snuff it all out
The pain and the doubt
But don’t take the bait, it’s a waste
Of a bеautiful fire
In the empire statе
You can snuff it all out
The pain and the doubt
But don’t take the bait, it’s a waste
You’re a beautiful fire
In the empire state
