Stars shining through buildings,I never could seeWhen I saw you there talk to the worldI was thinking it was me.A foggy grey runway, pushing into the crowdShutters bang in the night, in the windSwollen eyes in the dark open wideTill they see flowers redHang with love from the railings,Maybe fate all along.Flowers greyPressed in glass painted casesOne step backward, I never felt so wrong.Summer nights we would travel,Neon cities aglowWhen you'd tell me the music's too loud,I would smile, 'Yes I know...'Kids would show off their cities,Be they ever so proudJust as a precaution at nightHold your housekeys like penknivesAnd see through the dark flowers redHang with love from the railings,Maybe fate all along.Flowers greySongtextePressed in glass-painted casesOne step backward, I never felt so wrong.Drawing faces of landscapesDriving home from afarAfter calendar pages turned overTo find out where you are.There are times I still see youAlone on the stairsHad I known for the askingWhen gods choose to punishIt's likely surprise how they answer our prayersHang with love from the railings,Maybe fate all along.Flowers greyPressed in glass-painted casesOne step backward, I never felt so wrong.
