The picturesque bridges stretch
Over small passing boats
The rivers run wide
Side by side with the cobblestone roads
Dark grey graffitied building walls
And bright city lights
Shine on the buskers
Out strumming for nickels and dimes
You can hear them whispering
You can hear them say
I don't know if this is where I belong
Though I'm getting by anyway, so it's okay
No one rooting for me, but I'm here to stay
Worn out waitresses
Taking five for a smoke
Heads held high as they sigh
Flicking ashes below
You can hear them whispering
You can hear them say
I don't know if this is where I belong
Though I'm getting by anyway, so it's okay
No one rooting for me, but I'm here to stay
