Wilful Missing - Cry for the City
Capo V
I find it hard to change
Beyond routine
With its iron back
And its cheap caffeine
But we go too far
Down this road weâve turned
We will cry for the city
We will beg for its crime
We will see what weâre missing
We will beg and we will cry
Iâve struggled hard to be
What my Daddy wants
What my Sister feels
What my Girlfriend needs
But we go too far
Down this road weâve turned
We will cry for the city
We will reap what we sow
We will find weâve sowed so little
But we will reap and we will sow
Iâm haunted by a dream
A future scene
With an absent heart
And an open seam
Iâve got no heart left to break
Itâs my saving grace
My road to ruin
My oldest friend
But we go too far
Down this road weâve turned
We will cry for the city
We will read of its past
We will fail to listen
We will read and weâll ignore
We will cry for the city
We will search for its hope
And from the concrete
Revolution springs its head
Towards the sun
