You come from the woods, I live in the city/ Where towers grow to reach the sky/ No trees as far as the eye can see/ I take to the concrete in my stride
You come from the woods I live in the city/ Where towers grow to reach the sky/ No trees as far as the eye can see/ I take to the concrete in my stride/ No trees as far as the eye can see
We fly in the sky we sail in the sea, searching for what ought be/ It's right by your side I feel so alive with you next to me/
What a tricky little thing we call this life upon the earth, just as soon as its ending we run to find out what its worth/ Its as true your death and as real as your birth so why not fill your days with endless mirth/
We fly in the sky we sail in the sea searching for what ought to be its right by your side I feel so alive with you next to me
You come from the woods, I live in the city/ Where towers grow to reach the sky/ No trees as far as the eye can see/ I take to the concrete in my stride/
We fly in the sky we sail in the sea, searching for what ought be/ It's right by your side I feel so alive with you next to me

why, why, oh why, why, why, why, must i sit alone every day underneath the sky's dome of gray/
oh why why, must I sit alone every night and day underneath the sky's dome/
why, why, why, why, why, why must I sit alone every day, watch the sky go gray outside my window pane, darkens turns to night the binary of sight, oh why must I be alone, whoa why why why
