Lyrics Nicole Atkins

Nicole Atkins

Neptune City

You can't see me from this view

All the way down

Trailing the procession

I'll hide out a few more days

Then I'll be leaving this place soon

Our hearts are singing out just for you

A cemetery song for summer

And if we knew just what we could do

A cemetery song we'd not sing

I'm sitting over Neptune City

I used to love it

It used to be pretty

I'll come down, walk around a while

Until I'm sure I can never go home again

Maybe if I paid attention

I could learn to love the landscape I was born to

By the river in the rain

Let it make me new again

Our hearts are singing out just for you

A cemetery song for summer

And if we knew just what we could do

A cemetery song we'd not sing

I'm sitting over Neptune City

I used to love it

It used to be pretty

I'll come down, walk around a while

Until I'm sure I can never go home again
