lyrics

I Saw Buildings

I saw buildings
When I went downtown the other night
Windows winking
As their occupants turned off the lights

At the end of their routines
And ready to come home

Streetlights hanging
Like tired trees in even rows
They relax softly
As the traffic finally slows

As the evening hits the streets
They will stay up and keep watch
As we run through our routines
They will stay in the same spot

I saw buildings
Saw them shaking in the wind
Antennae waving
As if to say, “Hey! C’mon in!”

And the canyons between
Boulevards and avenues
As we run through our routines
They will help me get to you

I bet later
The skyscrapers
Will lean in and whisper
Like older sisters
And all these tenants
Would never guess that
The city’s still breathing
While we are sleeping

The city’s still breathing
While we are sleeping
The city’s still breathing
We’re in safe keeping

I saw buildings
When I went downtown the other night
Windows winking
As their occupants turned off the lights
