Invisible Cities

Black and amber

I'm back in anger

Softly spoken till the word is spread

Broken, broken

Life's greatest token

Walking the Spanish away down the hall

Those invisible cities I've lived in

With no roof under my head

And I've lived long enough now

To see light in the shadows

And my face in the frame

Why am I kidding myself?

And I've answered questions I haven't asked yet

Wondering if I should keep it to myself

Do I still walk inside the streets of cities that I knew?

Seems the ones I can't see, I'm still passing through

Those invisible cities I've lived in

With no roof under my head

And I've lived long enough now

To see light in the shadows

And my face in the frame

Why am I kidding myself?

Songs in my lifetime were always empty of certainty

Now that I'm older I can be sure of what they mean

Those invisible cities I've lived in

With no roof under my head

And I've lived long enough now

To see light in the shadows

And my face in the frame

Why am I kidding myself?
