lyrics

When our fate is the face of a city, we must understand an empty town picks us up; it never lets us down. We all seem some space to dance; we all need a room to take that chance. A bustling city if it’s built of greed is just a cluttered hoard of luxury. An empty town can be just what we need with its vistas and squares vacant and free. A city’s not something we lose. It’s a landscape our hearts will use to know that we’re not just ghosts. The haunts that we love the most are in us to enter again, a best table, a best friend. In favourite dreams, we walk quiet streets. And who do hope to meet? One beloved face, one moment of solidarity and grace when it seemed we had the city to ourselves as if it was in a book up on our shelves. All my happiness is a few I found with whom to share this empty town.
