Long ago I went west with the winds To the city of the moving shadows It didn't take long before I became a shadow myself And now I'm lost in this cement garden The cement garden that I used to crave I see the city in the people and smiles fade away It brings grief in their hearts What makes them stay? Yet the city's got a certain beauty More and more are coming in And I'm still here filled with fear Waiting for the dawn I just did what I've been told I didn't know that I'd been sold And now I'm nothing more than a pale silhouette So I went up to the old big house Waited for the stormy clouds To light a fire no one will extinguish The ever growing concrete plains surround me The everlasting sound of cars it drowns me And I see the walls closing in Somehow I have to escape Drifting through insomnia to wake up in a dream And it's always getting stranger than it seemed to be
