Mason Jennings - In Your City lyrics

rate me

When I got off the bus it was six in the evening

Snow was blowing across the intersection

For the last six hours I've been lost in a book

So it took me a second to remember what I was doing

Standing in the middle of a bustling sidewalk

Under barren branches silhouetted by street lamps

I reached into my overcoat pocket

And brought out a letter with your address on it

And I may be dreaming but I've come to you

I have nowhere else to run

How you gonna say what's never been said?

I'll tell you how it's done

You just look into your eyes

You look into your eyes

And follow 'em down, you gotta follow 'em down

Till the streets are lined with trees

On the last block there's a little blue house

It's the only house I see

And up in the window a light still shines

Your daddy showed you what was wrong with life

I wanna show you how to make it right

Hey, hey baby, I'm in your city

Tonight
