One night upon a cold roof top

The city down below

I sang out to the emptiness and pigeons in the snow

My love for you still burns so bright in me

But I'm not warm enough to let you see

Bottle bins and midnight sins, the sirens drown me out

Tears fall in the dirty snow

The moon she sang aloud

If love is true then you should dare to dream

Up here tonight not all is at it seems

Chimneys turn to towering trees

The washing lines to leaves

With eyes that shine like concubine's the owl he turned to me

Lets make a deal pretend I'm love you see

Now shake the hand that lives inside of me

But my head is all filled up with hot blood and brains

And up here tonight I'm screaming your name

With one hand on the edge and one on my chest

I give you my word if you give me the rest

One night upon a cold roof top

The city down below

I sang out to the emptiness and pigeons in the snow
