City by the Sea

I'm still searching for some city by the sea The one behind my eyes when I lay down to sleep I've been chasing my dream across the night The place I'll feel at peace, the only place that's mine I've spent too many nights smelling like cigarettes and beer And I'm longing for that place where the air would be clear I wake up again with this chill in my bones And it feels awful lonely but it feels a lot like home Been walking every coastline, just haven't found her yet Wherever you are dear, could you give me a sign Could you write it in smoke, could you leave on the light I can feel her there, soft and glimmering Dancing on a wire, lights on swelling seas Constellations guide where this broken coast will lead But the waters have been rising and she couldn't wait for me Been walking every coastline, just haven't found her yet Wherever you are dear, could you give me a sign Could you write it in smoke, could you leave on the light Reaching up like holy hands, minarets from shifting sands Calling me to come home A beating heart of stone, healer make me whole The only thing I've loved but never known So wherever you are dear, could you give me a sign Could you write it in smoke, could you leave on the light Wherever you are dear, could you give me a sign Could you write it in smoke, could you leave on the light Could you leave on the light I'm still searching for some city by the sea The one behind my eyes when I lay down to sleep
