You Never Loved This City

Make haste, the light is fading

The traders turn the sign

The clouds are lost to darkness

The bars they spring to life

You never loved this city

But angel, it loves you

Your smile, a roman candle

Your eyes a Prussian blue

Beware, the crack of lightning

Three miles but drawing near

The first rain blacks the pavement

The birds, they disappear

And in the doorway, lovers

They share a cigarette

Below, the rush of gutter

Above, a silhouette

You never loved this city

But angel, it loves you

Your smile, a roman candle

Your eyes are Prussian blue

I never loved this city

But you can keep me here

Your love, a stained glass window

Your heart, a chandelier
