half the city

Singer: st. paul & the broken bones

oh

this poor and lonely heart

it is made of pure steel

yet you can't let it cry

at the poor end of the street

i populated half the city

child

but i still can't find no love

somebody has to heal me

from up above

ain't no way that i could stay

everyday

oh every day

there she goes

her arms that hold me closely

so closely

no i can't let it down

this hope i feel

oh

the city's made me cry

but i still can't leave her

the street's are paved with pain

i'm not passing up

please don't let it down

'cause i've had enough

ain't no way that i could stay

everyday

oh every day

there it goes

her arms that hold me closely

so closely

i know that it's time

for this city of mine

to just crumble down and let me hold her

let me hold her

let me

let me hold her

all you've go to do

i know

i know
