I See the Lights
I see the C#mtraffic in the Dstreets
I hear the C#msongs subways sang beneath our Dfeet
And is it F#mrain or tears that I Gfeel
Upon my F#mface, the cities seems unGreal
Chorus:
I see the AligDhts, I see the AligDhts
But there’s no Awarmth or shelter in the C#mnight
People pass me on the way
And they see my eyes are filled with yesterday
When you wear here, I felt your heart beat near
Now the dark side’s never clear
Chorus
I’ve been this Bmway before, a thousand tiAmes or more
And though the Gmplaces are the same the faces are all yours, oh
Chorus + Verse 1 + Chorus
