The City and the Coast Lyrics by The Northern Hues

2005

Little sister can you find another way
When I hold you in this life
If I miss her coming back the other way
Then I know you’re lying still
Now I know you now
That you’re gone, I wanted to hold you down
But you trapped me on and on and on
On and on and on
Why does the time get slow, you let her cross that lake
I wanted to stop you so, before you’d gone away
In the moonlight, fatal flames ignite at night
Vanishing before my eyes
Now in hindsight the city and coast divide
In the trees that I can’t find
Oh I know you now
That you’re gone, I wanted to hold you down
But you trapped me on and on and on
On and on and on
Why does the time get slow, you let her cross that lake
I wanted to stop you so, before you’d gone away
We could have had it all, had you not found another
Way to run away from me
When you opened up the sky
Looking through the crowd of people
Just to catch your eyes
When you opened up my light
Looking through the crowd of people
Just to close your eyes
