Queen Of Cities

Sleep my darling well, And I’ll see you in my dreams
Come highwater or hell, You’ll still be here with me
I’ve been blue from the wisp, And I got high off your Vine
I’ve seen you when you’re coal, Now your diamond only shines

But the lights never found you sleeping, And you’re still right here with me
And the cold winter flows from the river, But the steamboats bringing heat
There’s a train rollin out for your freedom, And your mercantile smile
Suspension of dreams headed to you, If I could cross the other side


You’ve been calling my name, But I’m not really sure about yours
I like reading your face, And seeing all your scars
You let me inside, Deep in your hiding place
You nourished my soul, It’s a feeling I still chase

But the lights never found you sleeping, And you’re still right here with me
And the cold winter flows from the river, But the steamboats bringing heat
There’s a train rollin out for your freedom, And your mercantile smile
Suspension of dreams headed to you, If I could cross the other side


I’ve seen you done up at night, And awake with the morning rays
Been with you through the fall, And explored your every phase
I seen you change with the winds, But still this thing remains
It’s your beauty and grace, The never seems to change

But the lights never found you sleeping, And you’re still right here with me
And the cold winter flows from the river, But the steamboats bringing heat
There’s a train rollin out for your freedom, And your mercantile smile
Suspension of dreams headed to you, If I could cross the other side
