City Song-Howard Jones

[00:00.00]Emmy the Great - City Song [00:01.00] [00:04.32]The city called me so I came [00:08.11]It isn't mine to question what it said [00:12.44]I sleep until the point when I'm awake [00:16.75]I walk until there's nothing left to trek [00:21.15]And everyone is looking for an answer [00:25.47]And everyone is waiting for a break [00:29.38]I came and I was bored of it soon after [00:32.57]But I had nowhere to go and so I stayed [00:40.57]I dreamed a lifetime of this place [00:44.28]It seemed an awful thing to waste [00:49.52] [00:53.55]Well the morning fills my mouth up with decay [00:58.57]I like it, it reminds me how you taste [01:02.59]Sometimes I feel you rising up behind me like the wind [01:06.99]But I still try to look away [01:10.45]What will you look like when you're old? [01:14.10](What will you look like when you're old?) [01:15.95]What will I do if I don't know you? [01:18.38](What will I do if I don't know you?) [01:20.17]I guess that I decided not to ask the day I took the road [01:26.56]Down to the city as it called [01:30.48]Sun making silhouettes of gauze [01:34.87]I don't remember you at all [01:37.78] [01:46.55]The city called me and I came [01:52.35]It isn't mine to question why [01:56.76]Sometimes the clouds will rise ahead, I hear your name [02:00.82]It's like a choir in the sky [02:04.70]What will you look like when you're old? [02:08.23](What will you look like when you're old?) [02:09.91]What will I do if I don't know you? [02:11.56](What will I do if I don't know you?) [02:13.82]I guess that I decided not to know the day I took the road [02:19.24]Down to the city as it called [02:23.54]Sun making silhouettes of gauze [02:27.65]I don't remember you at all [02:35.30] [02:45.99]They pulled a human from my waist [02:50.73]It had your mouth, it had your face [02:54.66]I would have kept it if I'd stayed.
