lyrics
The first time that I saw you, you were waiting for the train
Your body like a shadow slipped away
A bright display of color, and the tunnel swept me under
And the last thing I remember was your face
I hoped you would appear, in some old movie theater chair
Some old vinyl back-booth diner way downtown
I watched for you in windows, sprayed your name across cement walls
In parking lots when no one was around
The city lights, they shine like silver, the city lights, they shine like gold
I’m holding out, for something better, what it is, I don’t know
The second time I saw you, you were running in the rain
Ducked back into a chinese restaurant
I drove around the block, cursed the light, double parked
Found only an old scarf that you forgot
I wore it that whole winter, hoped you’d see me in the street
Your eye would catch and suddenly you’d know
A glance inside the subway, the central station bustling
And two strangers locking eyes above it all
The city lights, they shine like silver, the city lights, they shine like gold
I’m holding out, for something better, what it is, I don’t know
I’m alright, if you’re asking, I’m just tired, and I’m just stoned
And the city lights, are a constellation, and your upturned face is, what I’m looking for
I came around the corner on a bitter saturday
A flower stand and trash cans on the curb
I bought a cup of coffee from a man who never saw me
Turned around and raised it up and there you were
My heart escaped my body, flew right up and disappeared
I thought that I might lose you in the crowd
But you crossed the street and suddenly your voice was in my ear
Saying don’t i know your face from somewhere else
The city lights, they shine like silver, the city lights, they shine like gold
I’m holding out, for something better, what it is, I don’t know
I’m holding out, for something better, what it is, I don’t know
Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer.
Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself.
Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night.
Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765
It's tough to pick a favorite track off this album, but there's something about Hard Year that cuts deeper than the rest. I spent many days driving in and out of the Catskill mountains and this album was my compass. dthompsthirty2
