In The City - Carrie Newcomer

Written by：Carrie Newc

Chalk one up for the street

Mark one down for the city

One more grown baby boy is sleepin' on the sidewalk tonight

Wide round eyes

Wide round lights

Can be shine but without substance

In an instant

You can hear an angel

Spread it's wings and fly away

In the city

Where you can lay down your dreams

You can feel it through the sidewalk

A heartbeat beneath your feet

Where they'll let you smell the water

But tell you you can't drink

You're in the city now

In the city now

There's a cry

There's a roar

There's a howl that never ends

There's a silence

That runs wide

As it runs deep

And unspoken broken people

Who are lying in the doorways

The light within them

Sputters and flickers

Like it almost never been

In the city

Where you can lay down your dreams

You can feel it through the sidewalk

A heartbeat beneath your feet

Where they'll let you smell the water

But tell you you can't drink

You're in the city now

You're in the city

You're in the city now

Now

Far away

Far away

Maybe you still near you can still hear

Someone

Saying

There's a light

It is you

There's a light

It is me

There's a hope that's round and hollow

Like a paper moon on a string

We can be perfect

We can be stronger

Saints are sinners who just tried longer

I am certainly no saint

But I surely heard the call

In the city

Where you can lay down your dreams

You can feel it through the sidewalk

A heartbeat beneath your feet

Where they'll let you smell the water

But tell you you can't drink

You're in the city now

You're in the city now

You're in the city

Oh
