Raindrops,
Quietly falling from skies,
Memories,
Now left far behind,
Traces,
Hidden deep in the dust,
Faces,
Empty dreams, angst and lust.

Here start all the ways 
To the end of nowhere,
Here misery reigns,
But no one ever cares.
When I close my eyes,
See behind my eyelashes
Some strange city of lights -
It's revived from the ashes.

Mysterious city that I've never seen -
I call it my home, it is where I feel in.
I've found my shelter
In a far-away place,
I'll take you with me, no matter what it takes.

The city enchants me, 
It tempts, captivates;
But something calls back, 
As reminds I can't stay.
Without you, love, 
It just can't be my home.
You think I would stay, 
I would leave you alone?

Mysterious city that I've never seen -
I call it my home, it is where I feel in.
I've found my shelter
In a far-away place,
I'll take you with me, no matter what it takes.

Raindrops,
Quietly falling from skies,
Memories
That I can't leave behind,
Love 
That I found one day,
Light
In the end of the way.
