Ben Tanner - Half the City lyrics

Oh, this poor and lonely heart It is made of pure steel And you can't let it cry Like the poor end of a stream I populated half the city, child But I still can't find no love Somebody has to heal me From up above Ain't no way that I could stay here There she goes, her arms toward home To glory Though I can't let it die I just hope I feel Oh the cities make me cry But I still can't leave her The streets are paved with pain Of further past the law Just got to get through, darling But I've had enough There ain't no way that I could stay here I'm breathing, oh I'm breathing There she goes, her arms that hold me closely, so closely I know that it's time For this city of mine To just crumble down Let me hold her Let me hold her Got to feel her deep down Got to feel it deep down baby
