Young In The City

I ferried my dreams

Across the water

Underneath a faceless moon

I woke to find myself uncovered

In this dark and dusty room

Take me, up the wooden stairs

Where the windows are open wide

There we can watch the city skyline

Tremble in the heat waves rolling by

And don't the world look pretty

When you're young in the city

So there I was

Ophelia climbing

Tthrough these tangled

Threads of light

I was caught

Open and bleeding

But I was willing

To stay the night

Take me down

To where the buildings

Stand empty at our feet

Where the dirty Hudson River

And the sweet blue oceans meet

And don't the world look pretty

When you're young in the city

Don't you sometimes wonder

Why it all goes by so fast

I held you in my fingers

Now I hold you in my past

Once I watched you

Walk on water

Now I watch you

Walk across the room

I always thought

We'd have forever

Now these forevers

Go by too soon

Take me down

To the streets below

Where the moon

And traffic lights

Guide us

While we go dreaming

Thru another sleepless night

And don't the world look pretty

When you're young in the city
