City of light

I went to all your streets and saw
in every brick a speaking flaw
signs of history and of law
a manmade maze, untill dawn


Please, city of light, listen now
just listen what I tell
please, city of light, understand
I've never thought, never dreamed
'bout somewhere else


And I shared all I had by then
with strangers and with unknown men
carefree hours, it was when
I realized: will I ever again


Be in the city of light some day?
I won't pretend I don't care
please, city of light, understand
for one night, it was our square! 


Till morning light, you kept us dark
hidden away, the sky our mark
time stood still, a prolonged night
then reality showed up
and we left it all behind
oh man, we left it all behind


I see myself in all my dreams
sharing cigarettes and cafeine
See the places I've never been
Fall in love with people I've never seen


Oh! Please, city of light, be quiet now
I won't shout this out loud
please, city of light, understand
I'll always think, always talk
about your light
city of light, be quiet now!
I won't shout this out loud
city of light, believe me please
I'll always verse, always sing
about your light


Yes, I would like to feel your light...
