Song of the City - Isidore, Steve Kilbey

I saw it with my eyes

Open and visibly

I heard it with my mind

Just imperceptibly

I thought it with my heart

Just like a silver ray

Turned it in my hand

Gives me the chance to pray

Start in the darkest part

Looked to the distant past

Song of the city

Song of the road

Start in the darkest part

Looked to the distant past

Song of the city

Song of the road

I took it with my night

I take it up every day

I thought that I was right

I thought it was right away

I waited around

Until you deined to appear

Created a sound

Bound to bring pain to my ears

Start in the darkest part

Look in the distant past

Song of the city

Song of the road

Start in the darkest part

Look to the distant past

Song of the city

Song of the road

Selling you on the way there

And get a good price for you

And making it nice for you

I kicked up a fuss

I picked up a mountain range

I pricked up my ears

I nicked up the candle bridge

I buried my loot

I wish for my day to come

I took off my boots

Looked at my fingers and thumbs

That was ok

To think about you all the time

And every day

You stayed
