City of Shadows

Lyrics

Your name's written in the dust On the ground beneath my feet 'Cause I, I don't know where to write you I hear it ringin' in the wire High above my head 'Cause I, I don't know which number to call Well, I, I don't know what you're thinkin' Well, I, I'm more afraid to despair In the city of shadows I'm looking for a light To shine on all the darkest corners of night City of shadows No one gives a prayer I hope I never find you there I've seen the beach town boys Cruisin' in the downtown bars But not a flicker of recognition in their faces I've sat out in the parkin' lot Watchin' the workin' girls But in awhile, well, every smile looks just the same Well, I, I wonder why I'm searching And I, I hope I won't find you there In the city of shadows I'm lookin' for a light To shine on all the darkest corners of night The city of shadows No one gives a prayer I hope I never find you there City of shadows I'm lookin' for a light To shine on all the darkest corners of night City of shadows No one gives a prayer I hope I never find you there There's a wreck on every corner A dealin' in the dice The lucky praise the Lord The losers pay the price Where words turn to whispers And whispers disappear I hope I never find you there (I hope I never find you) (Hope I never find you) (Hope I never find you) I hope I never find you there (I hope I never find you) (Hope I never find you) (Hope I never find you) I hope I never find you there
