I took a trip then I looked around the city looks a little clearer now it takes a dollar out of town I cross it I met a man with a backwards hat he said I’ve gotta get out of halifax and once I get to goin’ no I can’t go back they’ll find me once I hit the road there’s a place I’d like to go where the streets are painted gold like you’d never imagine and when it’s my time to go take me down across the cove throw me out don’t save my soul you can let em’ have it the city of ashes when it feels like he can’t go on he plays a record and he sings along to hard times and that jersey song it’s magic I saw him down at the liquor store not the man that he was before he grabbed a forty and walked out the door he said to me he lost it all from a few bad bets he left his family out to pay the debt said to his daughter that he’d soon be back and he told her he’d be sober and before he left he said once we hit the road there’s a place that we should go where the streets are painted gold like you’d never imagine and when it’s my time to go take me down across the cove throw me out don’t save my soul you can let em’ have it the city of ashes and when it’s my time to go take me down across the cove throw me out don’t save my soul you can let em’ have it the city of ashes

runnin’ from the cold on a west bound trail there’s a warmth in the touch of your golden hair and we’re shaking from the water we got no place to go covered by a tall pine sleeping on grass I see it in your eyes and I hear it in your laugh there’s a love in your heart that only I get to hold there’s a love in your heart that only I get to hold hold on baby I’m a mile away I’m driving well past eighty and I drove the whole night through well i’m tappin my toes this feelings overwhelming well honey I’m just trying to find my way to you there’s something really telling about the old sun setting how the light draws in while the catbirds singing If you fall for the feeling would you let me know bitten by the frost on the tip of your nose in a sleeping bag humming to the radio let the world keep spinning on and on we float and hold on baby I’m a mile away I’m driving well past eighty and I drove the whole night through well I’m tapping my toes this feelings overwhelming honey I’m just trying to find my way to you in the dead of the night when it feels like June there’s an old wet feeling and a light spring dew in the wake of the morning we swear we never moved waiting on the winter and we’re lying in bed and the weather never changed with the words you said and you hold your breath and sleep the whole day through hold on baby I’m a mile away I’m driving well past eighty and I drove the whole night through well I’m tappin my toes this feelings overwhelming honey I’m just trying to find my way to you honey I’m just trying to find my way to you honey I’m just trying to find my way to you
