I Lost My City

I lost my city, the streets and shops

Now not so pretty and all forgot

The cafs and corners where we'd once meet

Are now all flattened with a brand new street

I lost my city, where has it gone?

Just an echo of a night bird song

I am the ghost of these old streets

The scruffy corner where friends and lovers used to meet

One day you'll join me and you will see

It's all that's gone that's bothering me

I lost my city, where has it gone?

Just an echo of a night bird song

You'll have your street that you will know

Just some old place your memory has gone

You'll pass my face and then I'm gone

Just an echo of a night bird song

I lost my city, where has it gone?

Just an echo of a night bird song
