CITY STREETS |
|
by Carole King |
|
River wind is icy |
|
Chills run through my bones |
|
Tides of life are ebbing out |
|
Between the cobblestones |
|
The streets are on fire |
|
With the burning sunrise |
|
And over the water I look in vain |
|
For love in someone's eyes |
|
CHORUS: |
|
Oh, City streets |
|
The stories that they tell |
|
Oh, City streets |
|
They can be heaven, they can be hell |
|
Winter colored morning |
|
Gray and dirty brown |
|
Reflecting the mood I'm in |
|
Despair is all around |
|
I long for sweet oblivion |
|
To take me from my pain |
|
Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith |
|
So, I can break this chain |
|
CHORUS |
|
Lovers with their arms entwined |
|
Silhouettes against the light |
|
A warm bed is waiting as they head home |
|
After staying up all night |
|
For them the city is magic |
|
That's all they've ever known |
|
I wish I could find the magic |
|
But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone |
|
CHORUS |
|
Oh, City streets, the stories thay have known |
|
iOh City Streets, City Streets, The City Streets |
