Letras
One step falls my heels on stone
Two shadows split I walk alone
The third light turns it burns in red
Four seasons fade just scenes instead
Five fingers tangled then pulled away
A sixth sense told me you couldn't stay
Seven o'clock the alarm cuts through
Eight miles on Ninth Street in view
And the winds of Ten roll under my skin
Carrying me home to where I begin
The nights we dressed in silver light
The mornings that we let slip by
Even as the city called my name
I knew it wasn't mine to claim
I'm counting happiness
But it's only nights I spent with you
This city was turning into mine
Yet half-asleep inside a dream
I curse the coming of a brand new day
Ten o'clock walking down the street
A café on Ninth where old days meet
Eight-dollar whiskey brings back the past
Seven o'clock alarms that never last
Six blocks away the house I knew
From the fifth floor a different view
A four-seat bench beneath the trees
Three lights flicker in the evening breeze
Two messages waiting unread from you
And one world alone comes into view
The laughter still beneath my skin
The silence where your voice had been
I carry both as I let go
Toward the place I've always known
I'm counting happiness
But it's only nights I spent with you
This city was turning into mine
Yet half-asleep inside a dream
I curse the coming of a brand new day
Countless happiness
In the nights I shared with you and in who I am now
This city that city they all were mine to hold
Wrapped inside the traces of a dream
I let the brand new day unfold
