City of Awakening

[00:10.86] The village with it's scrambled streets and lover's lanes
[00:16.84] The long lost rooms on Perry Street where love was slain
[00:22.64] The drifting dreams that turned to ashes in the rain
[00:27.94] The flights from fancy all along the vast terrain
[00:33.82] That always brought me back over the bridge of sighs
[00:40.18] The desperate dreams, the yearning and the lonely nights
[00:45.78] In some far city, where I'm salvaged sweet delights
[00:51.50] Awake in sorrow, struggling to get back home
[00:57.64] Over the rivers, through the woods, sore to the bone
[01:03.10] The wind swept beaches
[01:04.87] Where my shattered dreams could roam
[01:11.26] The dazzling stages
[01:13.37] The bright lights where dreamed and wept
[01:17.37] Embraced by music where the secrets were kept
[01:22.83] City of awakening, where I found myself
[01:28.70] City of my youth, of poverty, and wealth
[01:33.93] Stripped of roaming figures, you are still alive
[01:40.30] You will blossom, you will win, you will survive
[01:48.12] Drunk in Greenwich Village
[01:51.83] Drunk in London Town
[01:54.64] Drunk in mountain cities, where the clouds came down
[02:00.44] Sunlight pouring on my younger face
[02:05.81] Light and laughter, fear, without a trace
[02:11.66] City of yearning, city of time
[02:17.18] City of beginning, city of rhyme
[02:25.36] The village with it's scrambled streets and lover's lanes
[02:31.49] The long lost rooms on Perry Street where love was slain
[02:37.87] Flights of fancy all along the vast terrain
[02:43.05] That brought me back over the bridge of sighs
[02:48.98] City of raw beauty
[02:53.84] City of bright lights
[03:00.52] Bright lights
[03:03.12]
[03:06.02] Bright lights
[03:07.85]
