Cub Country - 59 Grand lyrics

A church spire so bright and cold in the night Stabs at the moon and bleeds red sunlight On the New Jersey pike You took a bus Upstate I guess I should not compare you with the rest But sometimes I still do The cold air is thick and I've just stayed sick Are you thinking of me have you met someone yet Well I met someone new too She lives near the bridge next to the train That shakes the brick walls and it keeps me awake Staring at the river lights below Should I wake her up or let myself out The skyline's so bright I can't sleep at all And I don't know where I am Would you believe me if I said that I like it What could compare to the life that I've found You sound so happy in all of those letters Well I'm so happy for you We work late at night where people pack in tight My whole life seems so pale next to this moment now Then after work when it's time to leave She'll pick me up to wander the streets And help me forget what I know A red bird still sings at night in my dreams The prize of the City that doesn't have wings Can't leave and neither can I Would you believe me if I said that I like it What could compare to this life that I own All those new faces and cold dark places Will you even recognize me? On the City bus oh you should see us We ride so high and smart but her smile still breaks my heart
