Baby, there you stand The bottle in your hand Shouting to the night While the city sleeps Caught in the light of a car Or subway station sparks I see your face again Guess it's time to leave And I watched you fall from a great height And you watch me fail night after night Still the sound Still the sound of the city tonight Keeps my dreams and my demons alive Baby I, I'm still alive I hear the city breathe, I dream the city's dreams She's still in my arms for another year So with the broken hearts, call me the king of cards
I'll make them disappear with a sleight of hand And I watched you fall from a great height You watched me fail night after night Still the sound Still the sound of the city tonight Keeps my dreams and my demons alive Baby I, I'm still alive Still you don't come, you won't come But your fever has broken And the daylight is blinding your eyes And still you don't come, you won't come The city, she's not done She's calling; she's calling your name Your name
