The City And The River

Two centuries
 Since I first saw you weave
 Like a dancer 'round my heart
 You grew wild when it rained
 I dug deep into the slate
 So we'd never be apart
 You, you always stay by me
 You, you wander but never leave
 And I'm the one who watches over you
 That's what I was built to do
 Laid the track, poured the streets
 Towers of glass and concrete
 In silence, you watched what I became
 You lifted me up
 Said I'd stand at the top
 And all the world would know my name
 You, you always stay by me
 You, you wander but never leave
 And I'm the one who watches over you
 That's what I was built to do
 Oh
 Love don't you weep
 You know we cannot keep
 This moment here together
 If you could only see
 The beauty that I see
 We'd go on forever
 And as I turn to rust
 Start to crack, betray us
 You, you haven't aged a day
 When it's time for me to go
 Promise me that you'll flow
 Until the ocean washes you away
 You, you always stay by me
 You, you wander but never leave
 And I'm the one who watches over you
 I'm the one who watches over you
 I'm the one who watches over you
 That's what I was built to do
