This City

sleep quiet, lock the doors
and stay the night.
bomb shells and broken hearts fall far from sight
lights flashing far above me as i lay
i never thought my life would end this way.

so take me away from here,
the time is here
a life all spent with you is closing in
it's all i can see
when i'm lost, oh

put out the fire
and pretend to dream.
this city's sleepless but it's far from me.

so take me away from here,
the time is here
a life all spent with you is closing in
sorry lord i've lived my life away from you
soon i'll wake up standing there with you
it's all i can see
when i'm lost, oh
