Shadows of the Cityv6

(Verse 1) The city is sleeping, I'm closing the door The streetlights are weeping on a cold, dirty floor I start my old engine, the radio's low The only companion I have on this road The coffee is cold now, the day's just begun I'm chasing the gold now, under the gun (Pre-Chorus) Oh, the minutes are hours, the hours are days Lost in the high towers, in a permanent haze I'm working for nothing, I'm losing my mind Leaving the best years of my life behind (Chorus) I came to my work, the sun was asleep (Oh, the city is cold, the promises deep) I leave when it's dark, the shadows are deep (Oh, this lonely road, the secrets we keep) I'm a prisoner here in the neon and rain Caught in a circle of sorrow and pain Working for nothing, just watching it fade In the shadows of the city we've made (Verse 2) The faces of strangers, the smoke in the air I'm counting the dangers, but nobody cares My suitcase is heavy, my heart is a stone I'm ready, I'm steady, but I'm all alone The phone doesn't ring now, the message is clear I'm just a shadow, drowning in fear (Pre-Chorus) Oh, the minutes are hours, the hours are days Lost in the high towers, in a permanent haze I'm working for nothing, I'm losing my mind Leaving the best years of my life behind (Chorus) I came to my work, the sun was asleep (Oh, the city is cold, the promises deep) I leave when it's dark, the shadows are deep (Oh, this lonely road, the secrets we keep) I'm a prisoner here in the neon and rain Caught in a circle of sorrow and pain Working for nothing, just watching it fade In the shadows of the city we've made (Guitar / Saxophone Solo) (Bridge) Is there a morning? Will I see the light? Before the eternal, the endless night? Hold me tonight, don't let me fall I'm giving my life, I'm giving it all (Chorus — Key change, more powerful) I came to my work, the sun was asleep (Oh, the city is cold, the promises deep) I leave when it's dark, the shadows are deep (Oh, this lonely road, the secrets we keep) I'm a prisoner here in the neon and rain Caught in a circle of sorrow and pain Working for nothing, just watching it fade In the shadows of the city we've made (Outro) The sun was asleep... (The sun was asleep) And it's dark... (And it's so dark) Oh, I'm working for nothing... Just shadows in the dark... Fade out.
