The City And The River Lyrics

Rescues The City And The River

two centuries since I first saw you weave like a dancer, 'round my heart you grew wild when it rained I dug deep into the slate so we'd never be apart

you, you always stay by me you, you wander but never leave I'm the one who watches over you that's what I was built to do

laid the track poured the streets towers of glass and concrete in silence you watched what I became lifted me up said I'd stand at the top and all the world would know my name

you, you always stay by me you, you wander but never leave I'm the one who watches over you that's what i was built to do

love don't you weep you know we cannot keep this moment here together if you could only you see the beauty that i see we'd go on forever

and as I turn to rust start to crack, betray us you, you haven't aged a day when its time for me to go promise me that you'll flow until the ocean washes you away

you, you always stay by me you, you wander but never leave I'm the one who watches over you that's what I was built to do
