Cold and Lonely City — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

(Bobby Bare)

Big, old, cold and lonely city
Once I`ve thought you`re pretty
But now you`re not pretty anymore
Your tall buildings, flashing neon signs
Captured every dream of mine
And I came knocking on your heartless door.

I had visions of success
Planned my wealth and happiness
Can`t we safely say I`ve been a fool
Like a fool I thought you had a heart
You tore my thoughts and dreams apart
Oh, cold and lonely city you`ve been cruel.

I fell in love, you watched me fall
I married in your City Hall
Couldn`t hold your city girl
That wanted your big city world.

My best was just not good enough
I must admit you were too much
Concrete hearts are hard and cold as ice
Now I`m a going back where I should be
To mom and dad `cause they love me
You cold and lonely city, it`s been nice...
