Somewhere
Sometimes the sky here is dark not to pretty
I can see the lights from the distant city
Somewhere there is a candle burning
Left out on a shelf in the darkest night
Sometimes we all feel we get forgotten
And our love can vanish in the night
And I know there is always a tomorrow
And I know the earth is still turning
But I can only follow my own footsteps
As the dark night in the moonlight feels hollow
But I can see the light from all the cities
And I know there is place for me tonight
Sometimes the sun is not here very often
And the sky feels low, heavy and very tight
I wish somehow the mood could soften
As I watch how we slip away into the night
I know no one will not ever be forgotten
I have my memories they are burning
Beneath my feet the earth is still turning
It’s so hard for me to draw the curtain
It’s hard for me to move my pencil right
But I must keep myself from hurting
I hope someday you’ll come to the city
Where everything is all aglow and bright
There is a rainbow in every streetlight
Everything else turned black and white
I will always love life in the city
That is where you will always find me
If you’re looking you’ll find me in the city
Somewhere I am burning big and bright
And it was love that lit the candle
To keep away the dark when I’m alone at night,
