Strange New City

from Back to the Old House by Sawmill

/

lyrics

Out here you’ll get,
Caught in bad weather again,
Cowboy in a,
Strange new city.
Follow the crowd,
Looking for shelter in an,
Old music hall,
Turn and see the,
Dancer on stage,
Spinning in silence all night,
Can she see you?
Would she want to?

Taking one more,
Shot at the moon,
Walking it off,
Sobering up again.
The midday sun,
Burning the street,
Your shoelaces,
Are coming undone again.

As it gets dark,
Look for a motel somewhere,
Unpack and stare,
At the ceiling.
You can’t forget,
What you saw last night, under,
The lights dancing,
In slow motion.
Dancer on stage,
Spinning in silence all night,
Can she see you?
Would she want to?

Taking one more,
Shot at the moon,
Walking it off,
Sobering up again.
The midday sun,
Burning the street,
Your shoelaces,
Are coming undone again.
