City on a River

by Dumb Angel

on Ghost Dance (2008)

Here I am again
Ended up right where I knew I'd always be
Thought I came back for some friends
But there's something else that's waiting here for me
The city's changing shape
Everyone is leaving, I still don't know where I stand

And the river cuts a path
It cuts the life that I once knew in half
City on a river
City on a river
City on a river
Forget the dreams we knew
We haven't got a clue

Given life again
Spent another summer looking for some kind of key
Now that it's time to rust
A secret spiral down from every tree
There is nothing I could do
It's the only way I ever knew... the only way I knew

And the river cuts a path
It cuts the life that I once knew in half
City on a river
City on a river
City on a river
Forget the dreams we knew
We haven't got a clue

Down, down
Down, down down down
Up, down
Up, down down down

City on a river
City on a river
City on a river
I wanna see you prove
Prove what you can do
