City of Light - The Wooden Sky

[00:05.54]City of Light - The Wooden Sky
[00:39.18]When I was a young boy
[00:40.64]She used to come to me at night
[00:45.77]And wait by my window
[00:47.98]Just begging to come inside
[00:52.47]Now ever since I was eighteen
[00:54.62]She's been trying to run my life
[00:58.77]When she called me to go to her
[01:01.02]There was no place I could hide
[01:20.55]At the first signs of winter
[01:22.82]I went back to be inside
[01:27.09]Arms reached out to hold me
[01:29.35]And I shunned them with denial
[01:33.59]Said "I never cared for you
[01:35.92]I was always doing fine
[01:40.61]Why did you come back here
[01:42.509995]If you can just watch it fine "
[01:47.06]So I ran through the city at night
[01:50.32]The sound of her voice
[01:51.7]Proved a haunting disguise
[01:53.729996]Soon I was lost caught up in the lights
[01:57.11]And if I felt empty at least I was high
[01:59.869995]Oh city of light
[02:02.0]City of light
[02:03.11]Oh city of
[02:18.24]And in the morning I felt her breath
[02:20.62]Hot against my neck
[02:24.69]Mostly it never bothered me
[02:27.29001]Though sometimes I'll admit
[02:31.28]They're feeling all but surrounding;
[02:33.16]I let it come to this
[02:37.86]Darling do what you promised me
[02:40.14]And don't act like you forget
[02:47.99]So I'll run through the city at night
[02:51.20999]The sidewalks were empty
[02:52.8]The streets were on fire
[02:54.59]She filled me up new kind of desire
[02:57.85]Though I was helpless
[02:59.15]I sure felt alive
[03:00.59]Oh city of light
[03:02.64]City of light
[03:03.93]Oh city of
[03:20.25]Now all that defines me
[03:22.44]Is a place where I welcome death
[03:26.66]Let my family behold me
[03:28.94]When those streetlights came possessed
[03:33.66]But all that they held on me
[03:35.65]Those nights I wrestled with
[03:40.20999]Maybe we both could be
[03:42.01]Someplace where I could rest
[03:46.68]So she danced while I covered my eyes
[03:49.85]Made her feel safe
[03:51.29001]To pretend I was blind
[03:53.25]I had a place:
[03:54.53]I would go in my mind
[03:56.51]There you were sober and able to cry
[03:59.62]Oh city of light
[04:01.52]City of light
[04:03.02]You've got some nerve
[04:04.58]Coming back in my life
[04:06.38]City of light
[04:08.31]City of light
[04:09.79]They strung you up here
[04:11.45]And left you to die
[04:13.22]City of light
[04:14.86]City of light
[04:16.69]City of light
