City Streets Lyrics - Singles - Carol King

River wind is icy 

Chills run through my bones 

Tides of life are ebbing out 

Between the cobblestones 

The streets are on fire 

With the burning sunrise 

And over the water I look in vain 

For love on someone's eyes 

Oh 

city streets 

The stories that they tell - 

Oh 

city streets 

They can be heaven 

they can be hell. 

Winter colored morning 

Gray and dirty brown 

Reflecting the mood I'm in 

Despair is all around. 

I long for sweet oblivion 

To make me from my pain 

Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith 

So I can break this chain. 

Oh 

city streets 

The stories that they tell - 

Oh 

city streets 

They can be heaven 

they can be hell 

Lovers with their arms entwined 

Silhouettes against the light. 

A warm bed is waiting as they head home 

After staying up all night. 

For them the city is magic 

That's all they 've ever know. 

I wish I could find the magic 

But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone. 

Oh 

city streets 

The stories that they tell - 

Oh 

city streets 

They can be heaven 

they can be hell. 

Oh 

city streets 

The stories they have known 

Oh 

city streets 

city streets 

city streets.
