R iver wind is icy
C hills run through my bones
T ides of life are ebbing out
Betwe en the cobblestone s
T he streets are on fire
W ith the burning sun rise
A nd over the water I look in vain
For lo ve in someone's eyes
O h, city streets
The sto ries that they tell
O h, city streets
They can be he aven, they can be h ell
W inter-colored mor ning
G ray and dirty bro wn
R eflecting the mood I'm in
Despa ir is all aroun d
I long for sweet oblivion
To take me from my pai n
Maybe bri ng me dreams of hope and faith
So I can break this cha in
O h, city streets
The sto ries that they tell
O h, city streets
They can be he aven, they can be hel l
L overs with their arm s entwined
Si lhouettes against the li ght
A warm bed is waiting as they head home
Afte r staying up all night
F or them the city is magic
That's al l they've ever know n
I w ish I could find the magic
But I'm scar ed and I'm feeling so a lone
O h, city streets
The sto ries that they tell
O h, city streets
They can be he aven, they can be hel l
O h, city streets
The sto ries they have know n
O h, c ity streets, city stree ts, city streets
