Chris Mann - City On Fire lyrics

rate me

Can't find a soul, can't hear a sound<br />

It's just tears of something lonely raining down<br />

Can't see a thing, because you were the one<br />

And now smoke and ash are blocking out the sun<br />

City on fire, this city on fire<br />

There was a time when you were here<br />

When these broken streets weren't drowning in our tears<br />

In this city on fire, this city of strangers<br />

<br />

The day that you left me, since you've been gone<br />

Now it's just empty for everyone<br />

If you were here now, I know what you'd say<br />

It's the dawn before a beautiful day<br />

Keep me from falling<br />

Cause now I'm just walking through this city on fire<br />

<br />

I remember your words, and I hear you song<br />

It's the only thing that's left to keep me strong<br />

Because I'm not a fighter, no<br />

This city's so tired<br />

<br />

The day that you left me, since you've been gone<br />

Now it's just empty for everyone<br />

If you were here now, I know what you'd say<br />

It's the dawn before a beautiful day<br />

Keep me from falling<br />

Cause now I'm just walking through this city on fire<br />

<br />

I just close my eyes, and go another mile<br />

<br />

The day that you left me, since you've been gone<br />

Now it's just empty for everyone<br />

If you were here now, I know what you'd say<br />

It's the dawn before a beautiful day<br />

Keep me from falling<br />

I'm lost but I'm walking<br />

Keep us from failing in this city on fire
