[Verse 1] In this seaside town tonight Under the streetlights, our shadows sway With the lonely air this city breathes We slowly fade away [Verse 2] Every time we chase tomorrow It slips somewhere we cannot find Even perfect chemistry Can change with the state of mind Maybe what we are only shines Within these city lights [chorus] As the Ferris wheel keeps turning time around By the red brick walls where silence settles down In the little park where you and I remain Taking the long way, waiting for the morning Lost inside Chinatown's neon dreams Wrapped in the echoes from the stadium screams Someday we'll board a ship and sail away Keeping that dream folded deep inside today For now we'll simply be The wind that fills this city [bridge] Where the gondola carries us tonight It never seems to reach heaven's light Just a little closer to the stars Before we're pulled back into the city's noise [chorus] Beneath the skyline standing tall and bright Among the lovers walking through the night With melodies that paint this town in passing colors We're taking the long way, waiting for the morning Where the pigeons fly beyond these streets Through the quiet after all the city's heat While the lights of downtown gently hold us near Someday we'll board a ship and disappear Keeping that dream folded deep inside today For now we'll simply be The wind that fills this city
