Cracks In The City Lyrics - This Path Tonight - Graham Nash

Through the cracks in the city 

I can see the sad traces 

Of yesterday's empires 

With tomorrow's bad dreams 

They'll come back to haunt us 

Like the gaze in a mirror 

Reflecting the stakes that we took to extremes 

The cracks in the city 

Will trap us and trip us 

Making us fall to the ground that we love 

And through the cracks in the city 

I can hear voices calling 

Taking us all from below to above 

To above 

So I will follow this path 

That my life lays before me 

That yesterday's hero 

Never dared to dream 

About the stories and tales 

All the long hidden memories 

That sound like the echoes 

Of a tale told between 

Between the cracks in the city 

Will trap us and trip us 

Making us fall to the ground that we love 

And through the cracks in the city 

I can hear voices calling 

Taking us all from below to above 

To above 

The search for oblivion 

Starts out in the daylight 

Listening to people 

All trying to be first 

But dreaming in darkness 

Will offer no solace 

When all the king's horses 

Are dying of thirst 

The cracks in the city 

That will trap us and trip us 

Making us fall to the ground that we love 

And through the cracks in the city 

I can hear voices calling 

Taking us all from below to above 

To above
