City That Saves

I’m writing love songs to the city that saves
Hallelujah till she washes away
She gave me power in my darkest hours and
She’ll hold me gently when I enter my grave

I came, with lovin’ crossing my eyes, hypnotized
Alone, was never this hard to describe, in the light

Writing love songs to the city that saves
Hallelujah till she washes away
She gave me power in my darkest hours and
She’ll hold me gently when I enter my grave

Ohhh ohhh oohhhh
Ohhh ohhh oohhhh

Good lord, you’ve made a mess of this town, by the sound
God bless the silver, scared, and the drowned all around

Writing love songs to the city that saves
Hallelujah till she washes away
Gave me power in my darkest hours and
She’ll hold me gently when I enter my grave

Writing love songs to the city that saves
Hallelujah till she washes away
She gave me power in my darkest hours and
She'll hold me gently when I enter my grave
