lyrics

It’s been so long since we said goodbye
And the sun is setting low, low in the sky
I’ll be your friend, baby until the end

I know I’ll find you alone, alone one day
And when I see your face I’ll walk up and I’ll say
Why did I walk? Why did I walk this way?

Oh, baby don’t you leave me alone in this city for too long
Cuz I’ve got this old feeling that’s overwhelming me that you’re gone

Well, forget about me and what I have become
Oh, let me fall asleep and lay in my peace
What have we done? Where did this love come from

And I shudder when I hear my own voice in my own ears
Yeah, the irony is killing me, no I just can’t believe
That you regret the time when we first met

Oh, baby don’t you leave me alone in this city for too long
Cuz I’ve got this old feeling that’s overwhelming me that you’re gone

I remember when you said you’d lay awake in bed
And you thought this wouldn’t work so you’d fall asleep instead
Well I still dream that you know what this means

Oh, baby don’t you leave me alone in this city for too long
Cuz I’ve got this old feeling that’s overwhelming me that you’re gone

Oh, baby don’t you leave me alone in this city for too long
Cuz I’ve got this old feeling that’s overwhelming me that you’re gone
