Death Of A City Lyrics by Barclay James Harvest, The

Death Of A City Lyrics

    I look down the street but there's no one there
    In the cold, in the dark, in the night air
    I call out for life but my heart feels despair
    There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night

    The lights have all gone the clothes are all torn
    The people are gone but the victory's won
    I call out for life but it's after the day
    Now the people are gone just the city alone


    Eyes look from the second floor
    Down to the street below
    Calm now the wind is slow
    See posters once on the wall
    Now washed away in the rain
    Peeling from buildings tall


    I'll follow you friends to where life never ends
    Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend
    Time is like dust and the dust is like snow
    As it covers the ruins of the life that you know


    Trees once green now turned to stone
    Objects that look like ghosts
    All of them overgrown
    Mist all sight and mind is blurred
    Lie on your back and cry
    Words uttered never heard


    I look down the street but there's no one there
    In the cold, in the dark, in the night air
    I call out for life but my heart feels despair
    There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night


    The lights have all gone the clothes are torn
    The people are gone but the victory's won
    I call out for life but it's after the day
    Now the people are gone just the city alone
