Quit your dead-end job And move away with me These city lights are too bright for my eyes It's too bright in the city You sing your sorrow song Or drown in the air you breathe I'm going blind from the passions I hide I am leaving the city (City) To the water To the water we'll run (City) To the water To the water we'll run Smoke your clothes away Give up your body to grace I have no use for the skin that I'm No, my bones they are crumbling Turn the other cheek To all these people that grind you away These city lights casting shadows behind I am blind, I am tumbling (City) To the water To the water we'll run (City) To the water To the water we'll run I moved from the city The coastline is prettier, dear I moved from the city The coastline is prettier, dear So bury my body besides the people I hold dear I moved from the city The coastline is prettier, dear Into the water, We'll run (I moved from the city, the coastline is prettier, dear) Into the water, We'll run (I moved from the city, the coastline is prettier, dear) I moved from the city The coastline is prettier, dear
