City Lights

City lights keep falling away from me Breaking my silence, I ask away now for a sign Maybe an answer why I'm pleased with reaction, watching the great world spin Write my own caption, tuck it away for another day So I don't spend my life wondering where I might have been Been looking out my window from time to time Thinking about moving to a place I'll never know Cause I know that I won't go And I know that it's only you tonight I know there are others, some who swear it's not the time But they don't know anything And I can see a bit clearer when I'm looking at it through your eyes So I won't wait another day, for your love to drift away I'd go across the sea, lay on back, let you carry me So tell me now if I could be anything Do you see me like the movies, or am I somewhere else instead Hanging on to a thread Funny how the way things seem to me If I stop trying, I could just be standing still But I really don't think I will I know it ain't nothing but I really can't let it go So I won't wait another day for this time to drift away I think I'll head on down, see if I can find some solid ground Solid ground
