lyrics

First of all I feel engaged
I feel the age reversing
back in time when my sisters helped
me to rehearse this
I have to say this city is ugly as sin
but the people inside are lovable anyhow
I might escape
and see the other side
in not at all
the proper

Imposing place
that I escaped
anticipation
then again a sin
I wonder what it looked like back then

The second time I read this place
I feel the pages turning
I sing the song that my brothers both
helped me to learn and so
now I find this town is a beautiful thing
and even despite the history hidden inside life is great
on the otherside
in not at all
the proper way

Imposing grace
that I embraced
anticipation
then again a sin
I wonder what it looked like back then

Right at this minute I feel so softly kissed
by a saint
why does this city feel so impoverished?
and I awake
all that has been and all of it fallen flat
all brick and mortar
all rotten facts
