City Nights

from Blood Vessel by Lauren Young

/

lyrics

As I enter these streets
And the city blooms from its cocoon
And the rain hits back from the ground just like a drum

Lights wild like hair
And the streetlamps stand proud
And the Devil’s drink makes these nights so numb

I wake from my slumber
And I raise my glass and my feet
The casting shadows of the room look dead
And you said
“This is the sweetest red wine I’ve ever tasted in my goddamn life”
But I just can’t sleep in this bed

I curse at the moon
And I scream at the stars
And I tell you all the secrets of my broken heart

I hear your voice of reason
But I’m begging of you, Lord
We’ll share Marlborough Lights and city nights and we’ll play your favourite chord

You take me by the river where I watch my heroes drown
As they sing in harmony and they wash away their masks of disguise

Cold goodbyes
