Lyrics Mat Kearney

Mat Kearney

City of Black & White

This whole city's black and white

Tell me what is your color? Could it be the same as mine?

Faded greens and blue street lights

There's a red fire burning from the sea up to the sky

'Cause I don't wanna wait until tomorrow

To tell you how I feel the rest of my life

You don't wanna waste another minute when you realize

Walking on the dark side of the evening

Maybe it was you that opened my eyes

Burning like a fire on the water the city of black and white

Won't you just stay? Won't you just stay?

I'm on a top stair looking down, if you're coming up to me

It's where the whole world wants to be found

Golden rings and coffee brown

There's a white flag waving where my heart is on the ground

'Cause I don't wanna wait until tomorrow

To tell you how I feel the rest of my life

You don't wanna waste another minute when you realize

Walking on the dark side of the evening

Maybe it was you that opened my eyes

Burning like a fire on the water the city of black and white

Won't you just stay? Won't you just stay?

Won't you just stay now when the light goes

Under a dark street no one else knows?

So take my hands I'll carry you, you can carry me

'Cause I don't wanna wait until tomorrow

To tell you how I feel the rest of my life

You don't wanna waste another minute when you realize

Walking on the dark side of the evening

Maybe it was you that opened my eyes

Burning like a fire on the water the city of black and white

Won't you just stay? Won't you just stay?

Won't you just stay now?

Stay now, stay now when you're that close

Won't you just stay? Won't you just stay?

'Cause I don't wanna wait until tomorrow

To tell you how I feel the rest of my life

You don't wanna waste another minute when you realize

Walking on the dark side of the evening

Maybe it was you that opened my eyes

Burning like a fire on the water the city of black and white

Won't you just stay? Won't you just stay?
