Stockyard Stoics - City Lights lyrics

The stars they sure shine brighter out here And we've got nothing much to do The same old ghosts come around Running aground on the lonely avenue All drowning in good cheer Nooks and crannies telling stories up and down the block About which ones went to heaven Which ones got left on the carving block Should have, could have If you'd had the chance do you really think you would have Done it any different than you did? [Chorus:] And the days fly by on their own And the names fade away all unknown And the walls fall down overgrown Empty, broken down, and all alone Looking out the window never in the looking gla** Faces fade and sites degrade but it will all come back Every orchestral escape and every early k** Will leave another empty space to fill A portrait is the sum of all its parts and so much more And you're a part of mine as I hope I'm a part of yours Those bright old stars sealed up in jars are shining all they can While heavy clouds just keep on rolling in [Chorus] The stars they still shine brighter out there And in that gentle light the scars don't show Counting down until closing time Shaking, breaking, gasping in the glow Of the last town down the line
