lyrics

It almost seems like you have saved all your colors for the moment when I came back into your arms
The vomit on the sidewalk is telling bitter stories about the last night
You’re not a beauty, you know
You’re not like New York City and your smell is pretty strange
The concrete so damn hard
The people even harder, they keep saying about themselves

But when you wander through the night
Through the quarter of the singing and the laughing you will know
The girl behind the bar she’s waving goodnight, she will make me drunk again
I fall asleep with a smile

I was stumbling to the river, the vein of this town
Started talking to water
´I’m pretty scared, you know because everything keeps changing`
So, the river answered
´I’m covered by bridges
They’re made of steel and stones
They would sink, you understand`

But if you'd just take a walk
To the saint place oft he lovers and the drinking ou will know
All the people in my heart, the lights that keep me going, they will lead me through the night
I fall asleep with a smile

And if you'd just take a walk
Through the City oft he lovers and the singing, you will know
The girl behind the bar, all the people in my heart, they will lead me through the night
I fall asleep and call you home
