Lyrics
IN THE CITY SQUARE
Music and Words by Tony Cunha and Dean Keeling
verse 1
Walking around, while my guitar gently weeps, right into my hands
Strangers don’t even look twice anymore
In the bitter winter, cold and the falling rain
It feels like it going to freeze all over, right in the city square
verse 2
The winter rains stay unreeling
When the evening comes, and the people go back into their homes
You look around for a place to stay
Hopefully someone can spend a penny for sure
It feels like it going to freeze all over, right in the city square
chorus
You sit alone on the cold dark freezing ground
Roll and light the last cigarette
You don’t go out and play your song
Strangers will look down and listen
Yeah they all come down and listen
verse 3
The lights of the night turn on after dark
Aristocrats walking down the street at night for sure
Disgusted, and looking right down their noses
It feels like it’s going to freeze all over
It feels like it’s going to freeze all over
Right in the city square
Verse 4
II’m sitting on the cold ground; guitar now is laying right next to me
It looks like these winter days
Will continue to dampen this ground to be
A long night before a new day is breaking
I can see myself looking beyond
In The City Square (chorus)
