citylights

Drop down in the middle of town
Head in the air and my feet on the ground
Closed signs are up but the people are in
I can't see the glass for the gin.
Finding beauty in every single street
Finding glory in every tree
It might take a while but eventually
You'll see the world as I like to see.

CHORUS
I believe in the city lights
I believe in the urban nights
I trust that you will sympathise
City lights are in your eyes.

40 miles and a traffic cone
A short bus ride or a long walk home
Stop on a hill and take a look at the sky
Watch the fireworks flying by.
Stop by a tree I planted when I was young
Snap off a piece of my world when I had just begun
I want to hold you and stare into the new day
Watch as the bare branches sway.

CHORUS

Saturday evening and everybody's having fun
I grab your hand and down the street we run
Stare at the pubs with the friendly people outside
I can't help but swell with pride.
God I really love you and I love this place we live in
Right now I'm really thankful for everything that I've been given
It's all that I can do sometimes to stop myself from weeping
If I died now I'd be content.

CHORUS
