Falling stars can break your heart
when wishes don't come true
Lovers lost remind us all
that love can hurt us too
Towers rising far above me
seem to never change
Legions leave us empty alleys
resting silently
Below I found that girl
who filled your empty seat
She knows the tales they've told
among these crowded streets
Thousands of voices
will speak through the night
She sleeps alone
an invisible life
Songs sung remind us all
that wishes can come true
Lost dreams among these streets
will be reborn anew
Silently sleeping she lies beside me
savoring smells of the rain as I breath
Scents of the city that stir inside me
feelings of loss among these crowded streets
It grows
it fills the world
and sets us free
Seeking inside these walls
what others dream
It is alive and breathing
so peacefully
Sleeping stories all around me
speaking silently
Stars fall and break your heart
When she has gone away
