She tied her scarf on
The night was breaking late
Change on her stereo
Drawing lines on her face

We passed the streetlight in the winter, 5th and Washington
Cold hands to my face
Threw our voices to the singing of the city wind
Thought we’d always stay

Oh we were fooled by all the light

Unbroke the morning
Sun between shame and hope
After all the dreaming
I just want something I know

Sunrise footsteps on the bridge above the river’s eyes
Said we’d figured God and all
For a moment I was buying, following, found, and right
But lost is the best road to know, you’ll always find your way home

Oh we were fooled by all the light

I asked the morning teller if he could give me a ride
He said I’d take you to God’s door but he’s busy picking sides
Left this life
To give another a try

I passed the streetlight on the corner, 5th and Washington
Pulled my hands from the lines of my coat
My eyes were fading I had no hope but being born to run
The city's silent battlecry
city cilent battlecry
