The City Lights

The velvet curtain falls on the street,
Where shadows and the neon pulses meet.
I watch the taxis drift through the haze,
Reflecting back the rhythm of our days.

The clock is ticking on the empty wall,
I’m waiting for the silence just to call.
The distance grows with every passing mile,
I’m chasing down the ghost of your smile.

The stars are hiding behind the steel,
Lost in a world that’s losing its feel.
I reach for something that I used to know,
Before the winter wind began to blow.

Oh, the city lights are burning so bright,
Guiding my heart through the dead of the night.
Searching for love in this chrome-plated maze,
Lost in the heat of a crystalline haze.

The echoes whisper through the glass pane,
Washing away the touch of the rain.
We’re just two souls on a runaway train,
Trying to break the hold of the chain.

Oh, the city lights are burning so bright,
Guiding my heart through the dead of the night.
Searching for love in this chrome-plated maze,
Lost in the heat of a crystalline haze.

Nothing remains of the promise we made,
Watching the colors begin to fade.
But I will keep moving until the dawn,
Even when all of the wonder is gone.

The city lights, they fade in the sky,
Under the moon where the memories lie.
Lost in the glow, just watching the night,
Held in the dream of the city lights.
