Lyrics
City Lights
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.
City lights, shine so bright, all over his town.
As many years as it would seem he'd been around.
You hoped that you were underground
the local press had barely found you out.
The darlings of the paper are
the ones who never really made it out, and you know.
It gets cold when the summer comes.
It gets cold when the summer comes.
City lights, shine so bright, all over his town.
As many years as it would seem he'd been around.
Are you the one to make me sing
with city lights that don't inspire anything.
Did you know that you were through.
I couldn't wait to say goodbye to you, and you know.
It gets cold when the summer comes.
It gets cold when the summer comes.
City lights shine so bright all over my town
