Ken Stringfellow – Death Of A City lyrics

Did Ray really survive the death of a city that once was alive?
Still wears bespoke suits, he feels fireproof, maybe religion still offers him proof
And he walks right through you and I now silently make his usual rounds

Oh, you're over and done with now
You've broken my heart in
But that's not important - a minor misfortune
Now you're over and done with now
The death of a city
And nobody really cared

Back streets, somebody weeps, closed circuit cameras are making the sweep and they look down on grass turning brown 'cause nothing is able to live in this town so you go out, late, and look for the stars. All you see is orange on the clouds

Oh, you're over and done with now
You've broken my heart in
But that's not important - a minor misfortune
Now you're over and done with now
The death of a city
And nobody really cares

Are we able to see what somebody was dreaming in steel and stone?
Streets laid workers were paid and the skyline was something everyone owned
And you know sometimes that's all you get to
No you're not going now not when we're still enough to hear our own sounds like
When we breathe through each other's mouths, the broken out window gives view to the south
Now was it just a trick of the light or did I see movement attracting my sight, is it somebody waiting word to pull the curtain down?

Oh, you're over and done with now
You've broken my heart in
But that's not important - a minor misfortune
Now you're over and done with now
The death of a city
And nobody really cares

Oh, you're over and done with now
You've broken my heart in
But that's not important - a minor misfortune
Now you're over and done with now
The death of a city
And nobody really cares

But don't cry - don't cry
'Cause it's over and done with
Over and done with now
