City Streets

CITY STREETS



by Carole King







River wind is icy



Chills run through my bones



Tides of life are ebbing out



Between the cobblestones



The streets are on fire



With the burning sunrise



And over the water I look in vain



For love in someone's eyes







CHORUS:



Oh, City streets



The stories that they tell



Oh, City streets



They can be heaven, they can be hell







Winter colored morning



Gray and dirty brown



Reflecting the mood I'm in



Despair is all around



I long for sweet oblivion



To take me from my pain



Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith



So, I can break this chain







CHORUS







Lovers with their arms entwined



Silhouettes against the light



A warm bed is waiting as they head home



After staying up all night



For them the city is magic



That's all they've ever known



I wish I could find the magic



But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone







CHORUS







Oh, City streets, the stories thay have known



iOh City Streets, City Streets, The City Streets
