MUSIC FOR SALE

The evening settles down upon the streets
The city lights are reflecting in the rain
Among all these strangers that I meet
I'm trying to find my own path again

I came here chasing after heavy dreams
Full of hope and a heart so brave and bold
But the city wasn't playing on my team
It just stayed loud, distant, and so cold

For weeks I've wandered through the alleyways
Singing my song straight into the wind
Sometimes I ask myself in silent days
If this is the place we should have been

The skyscrapers are growing to the sky
But my own heart is feeling small and thin
All these crowds, all this rushing by
Leave me so lonely with the noise within

I want to go right back to where I belong
Back to the place where my name is known
Where the evening breeze sways the fields along
And time just runs a little slower on its own

I don't need a grand adventure anymore
No silver screen, no superficial glance
Just give me that familiar street outside my door
Instead of the finest big city dance

So I will pack my bags and walk away
Leaving the roaring of the town behind
Because sometimes true fortune chooses to stay
Right where it all started in your mind

I want to go right back to where I belong
Back to the place where my name is known
Where the evening breeze sways the fields along
And time just runs a little slower on its own

I don't need a grand adventure anymore
No silver screen, no superficial glance
Just give me that familiar street outside my door
Instead of the finest big city dance

Because sometimes true fortune chooses to stay
Right where it all started in your mind
