Burning City
My companion, whose eyes are tired
You've been scrubbing the floor since your servants were fired
The rags you wear make you royalty
I see your good works no need to explain them to me
Every twist and every turn
All wounds to unwind
Bridges to burn
Naked we come and naked we return
Some find the answers some never learn
Since you're going my way let's walk together tonight
If you find the darkness sticking to you
I will bring you light so bright
Sun down on the desert gonna cool off pretty soon
There's a village up ahead of us be on the next tune
I squeeze the juice of every day
Drank down the poison
To make the pain go away
No matter how you frame it with these
Pretty little rhymes
I looked back on that burning city
One too many times
My companion, I love it when you talk
Every move that you make every step that you walk
I'm a lonely soul but I've come to see
You can go a long way in the right company
It's an oven out there it's a life of stress
Why anyone waits is anyone's guess
I was talking to my neighbor
Everything I said he seemed to know
But I was the only one to pack his bags and go
Since you're going my way let's walk together awhile
You'll be someone I can sing to
Mile after mile
I've made a mess of most everything I've done
You've got stories you can tell me
I too have a ton
All of my words reduce what I feel
Pray a few miles, of silence will find what is real
No matter how you name it that distant bell still chimes
I looked back on that burning city
One too many times
Fear on the street
Death in the square
Rarely a truth can be heard anywhere
Worlds on fire and souls aflame
Appetites raging no man can tame
My shoes are gone my clothing's torn
But in a stable of shame they say a hope has been born
When I found you there on that lonely country mile
I saw the heavens open and I felt the angels smile
Since you're going my way
Let's walk together and see
If the morning brings a sunrise and a little sanity
I'm more simple now than I've ever been before
Learned to walk away from a few of them open doors
I'm a restless man
But my aim is true
Unlike your old lovers I won't be clinging to you
One man crawls while another man climbs
I looked back on that burning city one too many times
You've been scrubbing the floor since your servants were fired
The rags you wear make you royalty
I see your good works no need to explain them to me
Every twist and every turn
All wounds to unwind
Bridges to burn
Naked we come and naked we return
Some find the answers some never learn
Since you're going my way let's walk together tonight
If you find the darkness sticking to you
I will bring you light so bright
Sun down on the desert gonna cool off pretty soon
There's a village up ahead of us be on the next tune
I squeeze the juice of every day
Drank down the poison
To make the pain go away
No matter how you frame it with these
Pretty little rhymes
I looked back on that burning city
One too many times
My companion, I love it when you talk
Every move that you make every step that you walk
I'm a lonely soul but I've come to see

I looked back on that burning city one too many times
