Katie Costello - City Lights

Single wishing flower on my lawn
New freckle on the moon’s face
Closed eyes saw new grace
Go to sleep blue eyes and wake me when I’m dreaming
Close your lips real tight
Let me kiss them while you’re sleeping

It’s fool’s gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It’s your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can’t find your love

Let us just lay here until the record can’t go ’round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don’t know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery

Something in the way you kiss me goodnight
The warm night air wraps around me tight
Something in the way the quiet room speaks
I find the music loud, that precious sound

It’s fool’s gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It’s your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can’t find your love

Let us just lay here until the record can’t go ’round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don’t know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery

The streets are ours to dance in
The waves are ours to dive
The sky is for our wishing stars
Dreams so that kiss will survive
But the shadows still blind your eyes
From the love outside the lines
Of the shadowy prize

It’s fool’s gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It’s your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can’t find your love Let us just lay here until the record can’t go ’round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don’t know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery

12. City Lights
Song by Katie Costello

City lights awake
City lights awake
City lights don’t you see them
Laying here straight cold
Wondering if this is getting old
My head is far too soft for this pillow
The lights stream through the seems
Of my painted room, the beams
They don’t seem to blind me

No stars or moon in my reach
I guess I’ll have to keep hope
For those city lights
They’re the only thing that’s bright

The power behind what so quickly removes dark
We sit below it, we don’t even know it
It’s not just stars
Oh it’s all so much to take
But for my eyes sake
I’ll let them shine bright

No stars or moon in my reach
I guess I’ll have to keep hope
For those city lights
They’re the only thing that’s bright

This is where my room will stay
So I’ll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights
This is where my room will stay
So I’ll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights awake

The stars above are bright, but not like those city lights
Your heart drops like a stone, but you seem to feel indifferent

City lights, city lights, city lights awake
