"I Lost My City" lyrics

Jools Holland & Marc Almond Lyrics

"I Lost My City"

I lost my city
The streets and shops
Now not so pretty
And all forgot

The caffs and corners
Where we'd once meet
Are now all flattened with
A brand new street

I lost my city
Where has it gone?
Just an echo
Of a night bird song

I am the ghost
Of these old streets
The scruffy corner where friends
And lovers used to meet

One day you'll join me
And you will see
It's all that's gone that's
Bothering me

I lost my city
Where has it gone?
Just an echo of
A night bird song

You'll have your street
That you will know
Just some old place
Your memories go

You'll pass my face
And then I'm gone
Just an echo of
A night bird song

I lost my city
Where has it gone?
Just an echo of
A night bird song
