Skyline Dreams

Carla & Paul aka Butterfly Division

I saw neon lights in the midnight air
City buzz louder than a lion’s roar
Skyscrapers touching the starry heaven’s glow
Chasing shadows down every open door

Taxi rides under the moon’s pale gaze
Street dancers moving through crowded streams
Windows lit up with stories of the night
Echoes of laughter they’re waltzing in my dreams

Skyline dreams they shimmer in the dark
Calling me to places oh so far
Waltzing through the alleys of my mind
Every corner’s got a story wrapped in time

Graffiti whispers on the subway walls
Silent poets make their mark and disappear
Pavement guides us down the concrete halls
Every step a bookmark in this traveler’s year

Skyline dreams they shimmer in the dark
Calling me to places oh so far
Waltzing through the alleys of my mind
Every corner’s got a story wrapped in time

So I keep walking under the city’s spell
Hoping that my heart won’t ever tell
Secrets of the roads I’ve left behind
Map of memories forever intertwined
