City

Left her home came to town
Ran around in the city
Lost some dreams found some scenes
Lost and found in the city
Met some men just pretend
She's in love in the city
Hurt pride long slide
Try to hide in the city
New day cloud burst
Real thirst in the city
Horns blare people stare
Gotta rush in the city
Sundown in the park
And it's dark in the city
So cold lost soul
Needs a friend in the city
She thought the lights in the buildings up high were so pretty
She couldn't see the twinklin' of the eye in the city
Hold on, hold fast
Stay tuned till the last
Night life brings its end
Daylight brings a friend
Left her home came to town
Ran around in the city
Lost some dreams found some scenes
Lost and found in the city
Met some men just pretend
She's in love in the city
So cold lost hope
Needs a friend in the city
She thought the lights in the buildings up high were so pretty
She couldn't see the twinklin' of the eye in the city
Snow drift wild wind
Long ago loved it then
That was all in the past
Too bad it couldn't last
Hold on, hold fast
Stay tuned till the last
Night life brings its end
Daylight brings a friend
