Urban Angel

a city emptied by the fading light
of all that's wrong and all that's right
i watch the sun dissolve from view
knowing i'm dissolving, too
the rain will wash away the sound
of all that's lost and all i've found
i see the darkness breaking through

all my life
i've been falling down
though I'm still around
i'm still around

the traffic's moving nowhere fast
to be there first, to be there last
i watch it disappear from view
am i disappearing, too
the stranger stopped to ask me why
i didn't care, i didn't try
i see them drown into the blue

all my life
i've been falling down
though I'm still around
i'm still around

the air is still and the streets are empty
shadows move through the night around me
this is not where i was meant to be
all i have is taken from me
everything i was, i won't be
this is not what i was meant to see

all my life
i've been falling down
but I'm still around
i'm still around
