There Will Be Fireworks - Here Is Where lyrics

The city sleeps but we're awake We spirit home before the break Of dawn upon the streets In which we live and love and breathe And half the high-rises have turned to dust The Fairfields now are scrap and rust The sirens sing, the west wind howls What once was here was holy ground Not now And I confess that I've lately been a mess So I wonder where you'll sleep tonight And decide it would be best To stay out late and not come home To wander Kelvingrove alone I'm young enough to still believe Some faded glory might just shelter me And here is where my whole world turns And here is where my heart returns And here is where I've sworn and cursed And here is where I kissed you first In amber light shot through with rain I swear I don't intend to waste a syllable Each word is blessed The truth must blaze through every single breath Unbending, stark A lit steeple against unending dark And someone sprayed this on the wall: "I love it here" I don't at all Do you live for the love you've found? Some sad slow song to lay you down And still your weary worried heart Throw light upon your darkest dark That unsung psalm burst into flame That wild black night that calls your name O river, take my bloodied bones The toll can have my heart to hold Do you live for the loves you've lost? Do they linger in your thoughts? And ever in your fitful sleeps (In your wild and dark imaginings) Do you ever really dream of me? And if you did what would that mean? O river, take my bloodied bones The toll can have my heart to hold Unbending, stark A lit steeple against unending dark O river, take my bloodied bones The toll can have my heart to hold
