Soft City

The moon is as bright
As the soft city lights
All rolled up in one
The secret's out
There's no getting away
From the things you've done

The hiss of the cars
And the lights from the bars
Will not fade away
The farther out you get
The less you have to say

Oh
It's a faded dream
It's gone when you awake
The path you might have taken
No
It's a jaded dream
You can't find the peace you lost
Watch another sunset fall

Stand on a bridge
Watching the path
Of a passing train
Someone left
Their sleeping bag
And its getting wet
In the rain

The moon is as bright
As the soft city lights
All rolled up in one
The verdict's out
The jury's hung
