River wind is icy
Chills run through my bones
Tides of life are ebbing out
Between the cobblestone s
The streets are on fire
With the burning sun rise
And over the water I look in vain
For love in someone's eyes
Oh, city streets
The stories that they tell
Oh, city streets
They can be heaven, they can be h ell
Winter-colored mor ning
Gray and dirty bro wn
Reflecting the mood I'm in
Despair is all aroun d
I long for sweet oblivion
To take me from my pai n
Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith
So I can break this cha in
Oh, city streets
The stories that they tell
Oh, city streets
They can be heaven, they can be hel l
Lovers with their arm s entwined
Silhouettes against the li ght
A warm bed is waiting as they head home
After staying up all night
For them the city is magic
That's all they've ever know n
I wish I could find the magic
But I'm scared and I'm feeling so a lone
Oh, city streets
The stories that they tell
Oh, city streets
They can be heaven, they can be hel l
Oh, city streets
The stories they have know n
Oh, city streets, city streets, city streets
