saved by grace, a minute for the lonely
east coast time, staring at the wall
the city don't lie
that don't mean ever ask if for any advice

gray can't fade the portrait on the easel
light can't find a lamp already on
the city in time
delays a sense of recompense less divine

sheets in the window
stand by the window
can this be normal

black snow in winter
stay for the winter
can this be normal

balcony climb, a story of ten stories
taxi-line ride, speeding from the scene
saved by grace
a silence in this city
saved for grace
oh the city song

sing of the city
visit the city
can this be normal
