Our Fallen Cities - Lost Children

Looking so young and self-assured,

With her black hair flowing in the wind.

Riding this rusty bike up Avenue of the Americas.

Just a look as long as it takes,

To draw a careful breath,

And realize after this moment,

I may never see her again.

We’re passing like shooting stars in the sky

I could have missed it all in the blink of an eye.

I could throw out my arms for the world to see,

Scatter my cares to be carried on summer’s breeze,

But below a thousand stories are flooding the streets,

So it doesn’t matter much what I believe.

We’re passing like shooting stars in the sky

I could have missed it all in the blink of an eye.

We’re passing like shooting stars in the sky

Watch the flower’s pedals wilt, wither, and slowly die.

Oh I’ll come back for you, if you can remember my face.

I’ll come back for you, if you can only wait.

I’ll come back for you, if you can wait.
