City by the Sea Lyrics by Haunted Like Human

Tall Tales & Fables

2021

[Verse 1]
I'm still searchin' for some city by the sea
The one behind my eyes when I lay down to sleep
I've been chasing my dream across the night
The place I'll feel at peace, the only place that's mine
[Verse 2]
I've spent too many nights smelling like cigarettes and beer
And I'm longing for that place where the air would be clear
I wake up again with this chill in my bones
And it feels awful lonely, but it feels a lot like home
[Chorus]
Been walking every coast line, just haven't found her yеt
Wherever you arе, dear, could you give me a sign
Could you write it in smoke, could you leave on the light
[Verse 3]
I can feel her there, soft and glimmering
Dancing on a wire, lights on swelling seas
Constellations guide where this broken coast will lead
But the waters have been rising, and she couldn't wait for me
[Chorus]
Been walking every coast line, just haven't found her yet
Wherever you are, dear, could you give me a sign
Could you write it in smoke, could you leave on the light
[Bridge]
Reachin' up like holy hands
Minarets from shifting sands
Calling me to come home
A beating heart of stone
Healer, make me whole
The only thing I've loved but never known
[Chorus]
So wherever you are, dear, could you give me a sign
Could you write it in smoke, could you leave on the light
Wherever you are, dear, could you give me a sign
Could you write it in smoke, could you leave on the light
Could you leave on the light
[Verse 1]
I'm still searchin' for some city by the sea
The one behind my eyes when I lay down to sleep
