We Will Not Leave

My love lives in a white tower Not ivory but cement The road outside is covered in leaves The pavement's always wet The traffic stinks, it rushes by We're awake all night And all we hear are passing trains Living in the wake of a hurricane But we will not leave We will not leave The windows leak, the light's too bright The doors are all kicked in Someone got attacked downstairs We didn't do a thing Whenever we can, we steal the time Up the winding stairs we climb And all we hear are passing trains Living in the wake of a hurricane But we will not leave We will not leave From the heights where we look out The air begins to thin Here the vines can climb no higher Barbed wire roses cling The floors are purest concrete And she the warmest marble And all we hear are passing trains Living in the wake of a hurricane But we will not leave We will not leave
