It was hard for her
To be away so long
Hard to let go
Of what was gone
Living in the shadows
Time for a change
Couldn’t come soon enough
I don’t ever want to leave this place
This world is a stage
Greediness is a curse I guess
Your here but you’re not
Men build fences
Men build walls
Then tear them down
For the sake of all
In a moments time
It all could end
If we don’t get back
To where we’ve been
The winds from far away
Brought you back somehow
Must’ve missed some signs along the way
Nothing else matters anymore
You took away the loneliness of this world
I’d do it all again
I wouldn’t change a thing
Cold night
Hold me tight
Winter city
So please don’t get lost
And be away so long
Debate this round in my rearview mirror
Another day another night
In this cold city
With your struggles you discovered
What a lonely place this world can be
You’ve  seen a thing or two
And know about courage
It’s a delicate balance
It’s a slippery *****
That drops down to the sea
Where hearts can do the same
Dancing  boats just drift away
Drift away
Drift away
