I Came to the City versuri

Versuri Gale Garnett – I Came to the City lyrics

Ah-ah-ah.
Ah-ah-ah.

Came to the city where I was born,
came to the city where I was born,
bricks lay scattered around my feet,
no one passed me along the street.

Ah-ah-ah.
Ah-ah-ah.

Came to the city where I was young,
came to the city where I was young,
glass was shattered in every store,
all was cold that had lived before.

Ah-ah-ah.
Ah-ah-ah.

Came to the city to find my love,
came to the city to find my love,
stood in the sunlight and called his name,
back through the stillness an echo came
an echo of ashes and smoke and flame.

Ah-ah-ah.
Ah-ah-ah.

Went from the city, my eyes cast down,
went from the city, my eyes cast down,
deep in the past I remembered still
voices that said with persuasive skill:
„It can′t happen here, it never will.”

Ah-ah-ah.
Ah-ah-ah.
