Tom McRae - Sound of the city lyrics

rate me

So baby there you stand

the bottle in your hand

shouting to the night

while the city sleeps

caught in the light of a car

or subway station sparks

I see your face again

guess it's time to leave

and I watch you fall from a great height

and you watch me fail night after night

still the sound

still the sound of the city tonight

who keeps my dreams and my demons alive

baby I'm

I'm still alive

I hear the city breathe

I dream the city's dreams

and she's still in my arms

for another year

So bring your broken hearts

call in the king of cards

I'll make them disappear

with a sleight of hand

and I watch you fall from a great height

and you watch me fail night after night

still the sound

still the sound of the city tonight

keeps my dreams and my demons alive

and baby I'm

I'm still alive

Still you don't come

you won't come

your fever has broken

and daylight is blinding your eyes

and still you don't come

you won't come

the city she's not done

she's calling, she's calling your name

the sound of the city

the sound of the city tonight
