the writing on the wall
they've boarded up the cinema
strawberry dreams & the dust-filled beams
shut down in a modern town

see you walking
see you talking

recollection
on streets you used to know
forgotten pleasures smoulder
the images fade but the town won't let them go

sleepwalking
see you talking

feel the city inside you
leave this city behind you

drive wherever the roads will take you to
down beside a river frozen brown
january days & their scarecrow trees
so cold - feel your ears burn

see you walking
see you talking

feel the city inside you
leave this city behind you

past & present
they converge on every side
the wires all get tangled
when now & then collide
bittersweet taste of a time & another place before

sleep walking
see you talking

feel the city inside you
feel this city define you
leave this city behind you
