A City Somewhere
I used to be a fisherman
Until they took away my sea
I used to be a lover once
Until she went away from me
Now I only sail my sea in dreams
I'm kissing ghosts, it seems
The comfort of oblivion
Is where you'll find me most
The rushing fields, the rushing waves
The simply joy of touch
Now hoping for another one
A reason to exist
A fleeting glance, a skyward slide
In unison we dance
Towards all the dreams of breathless joy
That leave you in a trance
In a city of ten million
I can't find a single soul
No one to numb the loneliness
That tears a mortal hole
If I can make it through tonight
I know I'll be okay
And so I hang on through the hours
Till the breaking of the day
I used to see in colour
Now I only see in grey
I used to have a purpose once
Until she went away
Maybe there's another touch
Another smile that saves
Maybe I'll find a sea
Maybe I'll sail again
I used to believe in everything
Till they burned away the sky
I believed in all the golden dreams they sold Until they bled me dry
I loved the taste of innocence
Till they salted all the earth
The sweetness of a simple truth

Is now a saccharin joke
And I used to be the happy one
I used to feed on hope
Now I sit alone at night
And argue with these ghosts
In a city of ten million
I can't find a single soul
No one to numb the loneliness
That tears a mortal hole
If I can make it through tonight
I know I'll be okay
And so I hang on through the deadly hours
Till the breaking of the day
And a million pretty buildings
Can't cure a lonely soul
And a million drinks and photographs
Can't fill this empty hole
So I'm walking by the riverbank
And I'm counting every bridge
Trying to figure out what went wrong
How did I reach this place
Strangers through the restaurant windows
Holding each others hands
And I'm watching now as they speak a life
With a single loving glance
Spitting epithets at a wounded pride
I swallow hard
I turn the key to a silent room
Where all has died inside
I'm sitting naked in the darkness
Questioning my own skin
As I shake and fight the urge to collapse
And let the darkness win
In a city of ten million
I can't find a single soul
