From the City

I'm not from the country

I'm not from the valley

I'm not from the mountains

I don't have a view of the see

I'm from a city

That is worried and busy

Sad but pretty

Innocent and guilty

I'm from a city

Made of millions of shadows

Concrete metals and lonely trees

I'm from the city

Don't ever turn off the lights

This place was made for people who are afraid of the dark

And all I can hear

Loud screams and quiet tears

I'm from a city

That is worried and busy

Sad but pretty

Innocent and guilty

I'm from a city

Made of millions of shadows

Concrete metals and lonely trees

I walk the streets and I can see

Shapes of a long time glory

And everything reminds me

Of how great it used to be

I'm from a city

That is worried and busy

Sad but pretty

Innocent and guilty

I'm from a city

Made of millions of shadows

Concrete metals and lonely trees

I'm from a city

That is worried and busy

Sad but pretty

Innocent and guilty

I'm from a city

Made of millions of shadows

Concrete metals and lonely trees

I'm from the city

I'm from the city
