Lonely Cities Of The Heart Lyrics

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

(instrumental)

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...
