City Lights

City lights
Amber in velvet black
Call the name that
I never knew I always had
Hold me close
Dress me up in your dark clothes
Tell me secrets we shared
Before I learned how to forget
All the silent things I'd promised
Not to forget

City streets
Twisted like broken guitar strings
Wrapped in pieces of
Idealistic melody
Watch me go
A destination you already know
Moving through confusion learned
Before I learned how to regret
All the perfect things I'd promised
Not to regret

A native tourist, I
I paid in time for this prison
Made of wishful thinking
Beauty playing to a wilderness
Open the door
I will spill my heart and soul and more
Catch the scatter of your gold reflections
On the rivers' shifting mirrors
And I am Home

Brother night
I'll recast you in daylight
Save the longest of times
For what's to come in this Life
In this place
I was fool enough to forsake
Lead me back to
The foreign land I'd left behind
Before I was wise enough to realize
What I'd left behind

City lights
Amber in velvet black
Call the name that
I never knew I always had
Hold me close
Dress me up in your dark clothes
Tell me secrets we shared
Before I learned how to forget
All the silent things I'd promised
Not to forget
