Carol King City Streets Lyrics

City Streets Lyrics

River wind is icy

Chills run through my bones

Tides of life are ebbing out

Between the cobblestones

The streets are on fire

With the burning sunrise

And over the water I look in vain

For love on someone's eyes



Oh

city streets

The stories that they tell -

Oh

city streets

They can be heaven

they can be hell.



Winter colored morning

Gray and dirty brown

Reflecting the mood I'm in

Despair is all around.

I long for sweet oblivion

To make me from my pain

Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith

So I can break this chain.



Oh

city streets

The stories that they tell -

Oh

city streets

They can be heaven

they can be hell



Lovers with their arms entwined

Silhouettes against the light.

A warm bed is waiting as they head home

After staying up all night.

For them the city is magic

That's all they 've ever know.

I wish I could find the magic

But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone.



Oh

city streets

The stories that they tell -

Oh

city streets

They can be heaven

they can be hell.



Oh

city streets

The stories they have known

Oh

city streets

city streets

city streets.
