The Rescues - The City And The River lyrics

Two centuries since I first saw you weave like a dancer around my heart You grew wild when it rained I dug deep into the slates so we'd never be apart You, you always stay by me You, you wander but never leave And I'm the one who watches over you That's what I was built to do Laid the track Poured the streets Towers of gla** and concrete In silence, you watched what I became You lifted me up Said I'd stand at the top and all the world would know my name You, you always stay by me You, you wander but never leave And I'm the one who watches over you That's what I was built to do Oh Love don't you weep You know we cannot keep This moment here together If you could only see The beauty that I see We'd go on forever And as I turn to rust Start to crack Betray us You, you haven't aged a day When it's time for me to go Promise me that you'll flow until the ocean Washes you away You, you always stay by me You, you wander but never leave And I'm the one who watches over you I'm the one who watches over you I'm the one who watches over you That's what I was built to do
