City of Gold and Rain (버전 2)

Verse

Streetlights bent like a preacher's hand

Amber rain on the hood of my car

Corner store neon spelling out 'home' in red and gold

Same four blocks I learned how to play this song on

Grandma's window still lit at half past eight

Empty chair where my father used to wait for me

Dancehall closed, but the piano stays alive

Every key a mile that I got left to drive

Chorus

I'm running through the city of gold and rain

Every heartbeat pulling me back home again

Where the streetlights bend like they know your name

I was built for this, built for this kind of flame

City of gold and rain, here we go again

Streetlights bent like a preacher's hand

Amber rain on the hood of my car

Corner store neon spelling out 'home' in red and gold

Verse

Taxi radio low, static soft as smoke

Same old cassette tape I've been spinning for years

Momma's recipe in a coffee can under the bed

Sixteen summers folded up like a map that won't lead me nowhere yet

But something's pulling on the rope tonight

Every light on Main Street flickers out of sight

Same four blocks I learned how to play this song on

Chorus

I'm running through the city of gold and rain

Every heartbeat pulling me back home again

Where the streetlights bend like they know your name

I was built for this, built for this kind of flame

City of gold and rain, here we go again

Streetlights bent like a preacher's hand

Amber rain on the hood of my car

Corner store neon spelling out 'home' in red and gold

Bridge

I ain't done running yet

Not till I find that corner where the streetlights touch

I'll trade all my guitars for one last song from this place

Where the sky turns into gold, then turns back to rain again

Chorus

I'm running through the city of gold and rain

Every heartbeat pulling me back home again

Where the streetlights bend like they know your name

I was built for this, built for this kind of flame

City of gold and rain, here we go again

Streetlights bent like a preacher's hand

Amber rain on the hood of my car

Corner store neon spelling out 'home' in red and gold
