Carole King - City Streets lyrics

River wind is icy Chills run through my bones Tides of life are ebbing out Between the cobblestones The streets are on fire With the burning sunrise And over the water I look in vain For love on someone's eyes Oh City streets The stories that they tell Oh City streets They can be heaven They can be hell Winter colored morning Gray and dirty brown Reflecting the mood I'm in Despair is all around I long for sweet oblivion To make me from my pain Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith So I can break this chain Oh City streets The stories that they tell Oh City streets They can be heaven They can be hell Lovers with their arms entwined Silhouettes against the light A warm bed is waiting as they head home After staying up all night For them the city is magic That's all they've ever know I wish I could find the magic But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone Oh City streets The stories that they tell Oh City streets They can be heaven They can be hell Oh City streets The stories they have known Oh City streets City streets City streets
