《City of Light》歌词

[00:00:05] City of Light - The Wooden Sky

[00:00:39] When I was a young boy

[00:00:40] She used to come to me at night

[00:00:45] And wait by my window

[00:00:47] Just begging to come inside

[00:00:52] Now ever since I was eighteen

[00:00:54] She's been trying to run my life

[00:00:58] When she called me to go to her

[00:01:01] There was no place I could hide

[00:01:20] At the first signs of winter

[00:01:22] I went back to be inside

[00:01:27] Arms reached out to hold me

[00:01:29] And I shunned them with denial

[00:01:33] Said "I never cared for you

[00:01:35] I was always doing fine

[00:01:40] Why did you come back here

[00:01:42] If you can just watch it fine "

[00:01:47] So I ran through the city at night

[00:01:50] The sound of her voice

[00:01:51] Proved a haunting disguise

[00:01:53] Soon I was lost caught up in the lights

[00:01:57] And if I felt empty at least I was high

[00:01:59] Oh city of light

[00:02:02] City of light

[00:02:03] Oh city of

[00:02:18] And in the morning I felt her breath

[00:02:20] Hot against my neck

[00:02:24] Mostly it never bothered me

[00:02:27] Though sometimes I'll admit

[00:02:31] They're feeling all but surrounding;

[00:02:33] I let it come to this

[00:02:37] Darling do what you promised me

[00:02:40] And don't act like you forget

[00:02:47] So I'll run through the city at night

[00:02:51] The sidewalks were empty

[00:02:52] The streets were on fire

[00:02:54] She filled me up new kind of desire

[00:02:57] Though I was helpless

[00:02:59] I sure felt alive

[00:03:00] Oh city of light

[00:03:02] City of light

[00:03:03] Oh city of

[00:03:20] Now all that defines me

[00:03:22] Is a place where I welcome death

[00:03:26] Let my family behold me

[00:03:28] When those streetlights came possessed

[00:03:33] But all that they held on me

[00:03:35] Those nights I wrestled with

[00:03:40] Maybe we both could be

[00:03:42] Someplace where I could rest

[00:03:46] So she danced while I covered my eyes

[00:03:49] Made her feel safe

[00:03:51] To pretend I was blind

[00:03:53] I had a place:

[00:03:54] I would go in my mind

[00:03:56] There you were sober and able to cry

[00:03:59] Oh city of light

[00:04:01] City of light

[00:04:03] You've got some nerve

[00:04:04] Coming back in my life

[00:04:06] City of light

[00:04:08] City of light

[00:04:09] They strung you up here

[00:04:11] And left you to die

[00:04:13] City of light

[00:04:14] City of light

[00:04:16] City of light
