Listen To Your City

Another boy in this city Who's eyes are closed but wide awake while he is sleeping Another unconscious decision Just wanders round and round and round 'til something hits him The city speaks all through the night All through the day, just listen tight To the words it's softly speaking Dance all alone in the moonlight Away from streetlights, out of sight Neighbours music, almost reaching So open up your ears Why don't you listen to your city If it calls you through the window of your kitchen And wise beyond it's years You know it's never looked so pretty Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing When you close your eyes Do you still see it When you close your eyes The footsteps echo on the pavements Beneath my feet, I watch each one replace the other Avoiding cracks for entertainment An empty street greets me, reflecting every colour The city speaks all through the night All through the day, just listen tight To the words it's softly speaking Dance all alone in the moonlight Away from streetlights, out of sight Neighbours music, almost reaching So open up your ears Why don't you listen to your city If it calls you through the window of your kitchen And wise beyond it's years You know it's never looked so pretty Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing When you close your eyes Do you still see it When you close your eyes The morning sun's another friend of mine Hello tomorrow Three fifty one, just right on time Lifting through the shadow A simple picture, parts are gritty But we stand beside her And hear the whisper of your city Speak a little louder Open up your ears Why don't you listen to your city If it calls you through the window of your kitchen And wise beyond it's years You know it's never looked so pretty Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing So open up your ears Why don't you listen to your city If it calls you through the window of your kitchen And wise beyond it's years You know it's never looked so pretty Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing Open up your ears Why don't you listen to your city If it calls you through the window of your kitchen And wise beyond it's years You know it's never looked so pretty Yeah, it's always been the home that you've been missing When you close your eyes Do you still see it When you close your eyes
