Sometimes

Sometimes the sky is far and bright
I can see the lights from the all cities
Somewhere there is a candle burning
Left out on a shelf in the darkest night
Sometimes we feel we get forgotten
And our love can vanish in the night
And I know there is always tomorrow
And I know the earth is still turning
But I can’t follow any ones footsteps
And dark at night the moonlight is hollow

But I can see the light from all the cities
And I know there is place for me tonight
Sometimes the sun is not here very often
And the sky is low and not very bright
I wish somehow the mood could soften
As I watch you slip away into the night
I know you will not ever be forgotten
I have my memories they are burning
Beneath my feet the earth is still turning
It’s so hard for me to draw the curtain
It’s hard me to move my pencil right
But I must keep myself from hurting

I hope someday you’ll come to the city
Where everything is all aglow and bright
There is a rainbow in every streetlight
Everything else turned black and white
I will always love life in the cities
That is where you will always find me
If you’re looking you’ll find me in the cities
Somewhere I am burning big and bright
And it was love that lit the candle
To keep me safe when I’m alone at night,
