City on Fire - Chris Mann

Can’t find a soul, can’t hear a sound

It’s just tears of something lonely raining down

Can’t see a thing, because you were the one

And now smoke and ash are blocking out the sun

City on fire, this city on fire

There was a time when you were here

When these broken streets weren’t drowning in our tears

In this city on fire, this city of strangers

The day that you left me, since you’ve been gone

Now it’s just empty for everyone

If you were here now, I know what you’d say

It’s the dawn before a beautiful day

Keep me from falling

Cause now I’m just walking through this city on fire

I remember your words, and I hear you song

It’s the only thing that’s left to keep me strong

Because I’m not a fighter, no

This city’s so tired

The day that you left me, since you’ve been gone

Now it’s just empty for everyone

If you were here now, I know what you’d say

It’s the dawn before a beautiful day

Keep me from falling

Cause now I’m just walking through this city on fire

I just close my eyes, and go another mile

The day that you left me, since you’ve been gone

Now it’s just empty for everyone

If you were here now, I know what you’d say

It’s the dawn before a beautiful day

Keep me from falling

I’m lost but I’m walking

Keep us from failing in this city on fire
