Shadows rose

As the sun went down

We lay on that hillside

Streetlights comin’ round

Darkness­ lingered

Then fell into the yards

'Til we couldn’t tell the

City from the stars

 

Gave your promise

Guess the words were cheap

I never noticed

I was in too deep

Lost in surrender

Blind as my heart

I couldn’t tell the

City from the stars

 

Now I’m walking ‘round

Every corner of this town

Searching for something

I thought for sure I’d found

The lights burn above me

Still I’m lost in the dark

Can’t tell the city from the stars

 

Faith can fool you

As the waters shift

Stood on that bridge

Going down with the ship

And love love will hold you

Til you’re down so far

Can’t tell the city from the stars

 

Now I’m walking around

Every corner of this town

Searching for something

I thought for sure I’d found

And the lights burn above me

Still I’m lost in the dark

Can’t tell the city from the stars

 

The shadows rise

As the sun goes down

Standing on this hillside

Streetlights comin’ round

Darkness lingers

Then falls into the yards

I still can’t tell the

City from the stars
