Music Yard after yard Like someone raised with a rubber sign so familiar past I walked in circles quietly slowly Every door it like someone closed but a faded frame And the street name sits on my tongue and slips back again How much longer? How much longer? How much longer? Wondering how to have it in a place I should go home This city that I don't know though I live there for so long I'm lost between the buildings looking for people But they're going all busy with their lies behind closed doors And I'm alone among the yards This city that I don't know how did I grow up here without knowing it
Without knowing it It's not so From someone's open window someone's dog is yawning in the shade And I'm jealousy knows them knows them knows them But my wrist crossed slow and I check in with myself How long can I wander out of habit in a place that's supposed to be my home It's supposed to be my home How much longer? How much longer? Wondering how to have it in a place I should go home This city that I don't know though I live there for so long I'm lost between the buildings looking for people But they're going all busy with their lies behind closed doors And I'm alone among the yards This city that I don't know how did I grow up here without knowing it Without knowing it Maybe I too is always rushing past my home from door
Past the faces past the names that winter road From the doors and here I stand at the crossing of identical walls And whisper quietly Come on show yourself at least one person This city that I don't know though I live there for so long I made it to the busy highway but on the sidelines No one's there all busy with their lies I'm alone among the yards This city that I don't know how did I grow up here without knowing it Without knowing it Without knowing it How did I grow up here without knowing it Without knowing it This city that I don't know
Without knowing it Thanks for watching
