Running Hands with the Night

The first picture Our first picture Still for a second wrapped in a whisper with you Viva the Seine! Run the bridges Go down these boulevards again With you, they feel so different. It's like nothing here, nothing starts Then you and me, all at once I'm asking, you're waiting I'm smiling To let you know This city is calling Springs open and holds me now Running hands with the night My shoulders, the streets Pull me back in the light You're gonna take me back You're gonna take me back Back to a place that I nearly forgot I've been pulled lace And I've felt over I've felt pity's touch Not just another day Just another's luck Look what it did to us It's that slow arm of happiness, you and me holding on I'm asking, you're waiting I'm smiling To let you know This city is calling Springs open and holds me now Running hands with the night My shoulders, the streets Pull me back in the light Ph just spend their time Those empty rooms emptying, they take a while But it's a quiet fall Just slip away the last mark on the wall I want to take a turn I want to take this turn End up sorry when midnight burns Out of the window, out of this madness Help me keep this chance together It's slipping like rain on glass It's slipping like a twisted dance It's dying in an empty vase It's dying 'cos you tried so hard I'm calling home - there's no one waiting But you wanna sleep when it all says nothing And you wanna stop and the cord's been cut 'Cos you were never connected It had already dropped Got this pain in my chest An arm that's numb And he's waiting to be blown back Back tot he sun where he belongs I'm frightened I'm frightened That chance has drowned in grey I'm closing, yeah I'm closing 'Cos love has turned to pearls And I said thank you for the one-way steps They told me: "There's nothing left" But they sent the salvos down So nobody will mind My orphaned heart got taken in That wasn't a moment of kindness. Little bird Don't just sit there Look long enough There's sadness everywhere. Open your eyes, feel something new, don't fall from the sky Before this city finds you. This city found you In this city, you're not lost This city found you Carry on, carry on, 'cos I'm gone This city found you In this city, you're not lost This city found you.
