lyrics

City of Love

In the city of love, the cops don’t use a gun
They catch you with the stars in your eyes
The sun don’t shine, it radiates
The mystery train is never late
Clouds don’t hold no rain in the city of love
Clouds don’t hold no rain in the city of love

In the city of love, all change comes from above
Singing like a stone in the sea
We stand and pray for who knows what
But every case is open shut
Clouds don’t hold no rain in the city of love
Clouds don’t hold no rain in the city of love

In the city of love, I’m glad for what I got
Flashing like a bolt from the blue
Shining as my own true face
Laughing down this bitter place
Clouds don’t hold no rain in the city of love
Clouds don’t hold no rain in the city of love

In the city of love, I dreamt I never was
Drifting like a ghost in the wind
Backing down a faded stair
Past a clock I can’t repair
Clouds don’t hold no rain in the city of love
Clouds don’t hold no rain in the city of love
