In a Town (200 Days)

In a town somewhere I'm passing through
Like every other town I knew
The years of this have carved a face
A map on which I've lost my place

But I gather and I gathered up
And the strength of silence fills my cup
There's nothing more there's just enough
To live and still believe in love

And city lights a fire escape
But fire could not burn this place
It's hard as rocks and bold to break
And I'm one too many wide awake

I conquer every hour
By counting every day
I'm locked up in my tower
There the city drifts away... ya a...

Ya... a...

I'm missing every midnight
Though it happens every day
I'm searching for the good light
In one thousand shades of gray

But colors have no meaning
Like singers have no say
The one thing you believed in
Did you turn and walk away

Oh, what can I do
Is there nothing I can do
Give my money like I'm guilty
And give my words like I'm a fool

Who will listen who will lead
But for the blindness I can see
Thee could be a better man then me
You could be a better man then me

Ya... a... ya... a...

Oh, I dare you to be mild
Among the fleeting search
I've been trying to stand higher
But I can not say what it's worth

Tomorrow is a sobbing siren
Singing at your door
Builds a ship of both your eyes
And lose the rest of you ashore

And I am in a town somewhere I'm just passing through
Like every other town I knew
The years of this have carved a face
A map on which I've lost my place

But I still gather and I gather up
And the strength of silence fills my cup
There's nothing more there's just enough
To live and still believe in love

Oh... o...
