In the city

Mornings when I wake too early There's a dead light in the room Rain is falling through The dark and the moon The waking hour appears pretty soon Everyone is sleeping though I lie in a curtained room...

It was a night to remember Charlie parker knew just what to play To make it all come my way Clench my fist with one hand Shake you hand with the other It'll take time It'll take time Oh what will i do...

Somewhere out on that horizon Out beyond the neon lights I know there must be somethin' better But there's nowhere else in sight It's survival in the city When you live from day to day City streets...
