I fell in love with the city one night
Where the stars, the stars were shining bright
I fell in love with the city that night
Where the buildings are pressed together too tight
I fell in love with the city at night
With its dim, flickering lights
and dying life.
I fell in love with the city one night
That night.
The stars won't sing to me anymore--
The moon has ceased her laughter.
The sky has become silent once more--
and I am lost in this city,
this city of slaughter.
I fell in love with the city one night,
(When the stars were no longer my comfort,)
I fell in love with the city, I think,
(But lost myself in return.)
And I ask you, love,
(I ask you...)
Will you sing to me until the sky falls?
Until we both go numb from the city's cold?
Until we join the ghosts of this city of slaughter,
This haunted city,
That I fell in love with so foolishly,
On that one.... fateful.... night....
