"A Wanderer In The Sleeping City" lyrics

Qing Feng Wu (吳青峰) & Rufus Wainwright Lyrics

"A Wanderer In The Sleeping City"

Walking at the break of dawn
Everything is boarded up
I remember that boutique and
That theatrical bookshop

How I miss that old cafe
And the corner bakery
Oh, you should have seen the city
Waking up to yesterday

Maybe soon the world will understand
That we're all just trying to do the best we can
Maybe soon the world will finally wake
From the nightmare that we take for being awake

Turn the corner up the hill
Got a lotta time to kill
And from up here I can see the city lights
And still believe
In what I see

Maybe soon the world will understand
That we're all just trying to do the best we can
Maybe soon the world will finally wake
From the nightmare that we take for being awake

Turn the corner up the hill
Got a lotta time to kill
And from up here I can see the city lights
And still believe
In what I see

Walking at the break of dawn
Everything is boarded up
I remember that boutique and
That theatrical bookshop
