As the midnight fades in boys town
|
And the hustle stops to glow
|
This urban landscape sprawls before me
|
And the hunger starts to grow
|
But something more than my daddy showed to me
|
How he wanted to make a man of me
|
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
|
Hiding in the shadows and searching in the dark
|
|
My mama reads me like an open book
|
She knows when I'm up or down
|
But every night I stay longer
|
In the creole part of town
|
Something more than what the good lord gave to me
|
Something more, much more than this
|
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
|
Hiding in the shadows, searching in the dark
|
|
And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now
|
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
|

|
|
I can take a little pain, but not tonight again
|
|
Outside my hotel window I hear the Mardi Gras
|
Keep the candle burning bright Babe, i've come too far
|
As daylight creeps through the curtains I start to slip away,
|
And everything that seems so certain is just another day
|
|
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
|
Hiding in the shadows searching in the dark
|
And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now
|
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
|
Hiding in the shadows searching in the dark
|
And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now
|
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
|
Living in the lonely cities of the heart...
