Voices in the street, footsteps on the concrete

Guess I hear just every sound on the ground

I know a color blue

Picture fresh as water clear

Days have passed without you here
Em G C G
Street lights dancing on the dark across the park

Waiting for a word from you, waiting for a sign or two
Em G C Am G
Footsteps on the city ground, you know the sound
