Glass City (Variation)

Through the window, the city's made of glass Every building a lantern in the dark Someone's awake in every one of them Writing their own story in the dark And I'm one of them now Just another light Glass city, let me in To your constellation of insomnia Where everyone's a stranger And everyone's a friend Glass city, hold me here In your comfortable loneliness I poured a drink I didn't really need Just to have something in my hands The ice clicks like a metronome Keeping time with traffic lights And I'm counting them now Red and green and white Glass city, let me in To your constellation of insomnia Where everyone's a stranger And everyone's a friend Glass city, hold me here In your comfortable loneliness I don't need to be anywhere I don't need to be anyone Just here with the humming streetlights And the silence between songs Glass city, you and me Comfortable in our solitary All these lights, all these lives Beautiful at this time of night
