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
