Labi Siffre lyrics : "City Of Dreams"
When it's over what can you do
It's a little bit more than broken this heart
It's a little bit more than broken this heart
Ooh, sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean
Sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes
Madonna and child in the city square
A thousand people who love to stare
It's a little bit more than broken this heart
It's a little bit more than broken
But you never break apart
Sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean
Sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes
A rock and a hard place
She tired of getting nowhere
She tired of being erased
By casual indifference
Her life shut in her face
She gotta be muscle
She gotta be muscle
Refused to give into her past
To start anew is now her task
That man was just a boy you see
But she's a woman with responsibility
16 and a half with a baby and a rattle
She shed a lot of tears but now she's gonna battle
As for easing her pain in a similar vein
For that's another bad move
Won't do that again
Got a little bit of help
Got to be enough
From welfare and some people with the charity stuff
And though its hard she's started steady
And she'd going back to school
Some of her friends they say
"She's just a fool"
They say "she doesn't stand a chance
Life is just a crock"
They tell her "give it up"
But man, the girl is tough
Sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean
Sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean
Sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean
Sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean
Sunrise
In the city of dreams
Sometimes [fade]
