lyrics

I will never leave this city
I know I will die here
All the street lights, the house lights, the head lights
They always lead me back here

The coldest winters and the longest nights
The external stillness and the internal fights
I am always drawn back here by the lights
That shine outside my window
They shine out and remind me

Of a life where my concrete concerns didn't conquer
My consciousness cleared of all fear
And the roads that I travel took me further and further from here

I will never leave this city
I know I will die here
All the street lights, the house lights, the head lights
They always lead me back here

Every year it seems the winters get colder (the winters get colder)
The city's changing but I stay the same (except you get older)
The mystic chords of memory never seem to unfold
I just want to let go but they still want to hold on

To the extiguished embers of a fire I once lit
That burned brighter than any before
Now the rains turn the flames into ash
And it won't burn anymore
