You never loved this city












 Make haste, the light is fading 
The traders turn the sign 
The clouds are lost to darkness 
The bars they spring to life 









You never loved this city 
But angel, it loves you 
Your smile, a roman candle 
Your eyes a Prussian blue 








 Beware, the crack of lightning 
Three miles but drawing near 
The first rain blacks the pavement 
The birds, they disappear 









And in the doorway, lovers 
They share a cigarette 
Below, the rush of gutter 
Above, a silhouette 










You never loved this city 
But angel, it loves you 
Your smile, a roman candle 
Your eyes are Prussian blue 








I never loved this city 
But you can keep me here 
Your love, a stained glass window 
Your heart, a chandelier 

Piano Magic
