Shifting City

Somewhere in the shifting city

We're slipping shadows

Shifting into places

Over, under

In and out of phase I wander

Often I can feel the drifting sea

All shifting slowly through me

When I'm waking and when I'm half asleep

Somehow

Somewhere

Some trace

Some place...

Somewhere in the shifting city

The drifting city

The glistening city

The tricky vivid glittering city

And I'm still trying to figure in it

Somewhere, Somehow, Some trace, Some place...

Silent Sunday, early morning

Over under damp and dawning

We'll be waltzing by the windows

Stunned by all the sudden sunglow

Can we play the moves before we go?

Empty empire into bungalow

Slowly shifting into other vistas

Visiting and lost and listless

Listening, misty

Seeing, shady

Waving, meeting

Swirling, swaying

Saying something to me slowly

Somewhere in the shifting city

Sometime, Somehow, Some trace, Some place...

(And I will find you in the streets and you will know me)

Somewhere in the shifting city

The drifting city

The glistening city

The tricky vivid glittering city

And I'm still trying to figure in it

(And I will see you in the streets when you are lonely)

Somewhere, Somehow, Some trace, Some place...

(And I will find you in the streets and you will know me)
