Ryan O'Reilly - The Black & the Blue

Текст песни

I was lost and you were trying to help me
Though I could swear the place was right round here before
With confidence I told you I remember
Even though I knew you knew I wasn’t sure
You whispered one day this would be my city
But it wasn’t yet and we both understood
As you attempted to translate what I just told you
Then you said it better than I ever could
On a bridge in the evening mist
Gypsies and evangelists
Walk past the Saints and the Angels and us
As the Sun sets and reveals the night
I tried to find the words but couldn’t quite
As you held your breath the silence grew
In the darkest black and the deepest blue
I lead you up the stairs into the bedroom
Where a poet died many years ago
And a vision of the life then flashed before me
That I could not hold but don’t want to let go
On a bridge in the evening mist
Gypsies and evangelists
Walk past the Saints and the Angels and us
As the Sun sets and reveals the night
Dying stars crown old street lights
