"The City" lyrics - ADIA VICTORIA

ADIA VICTORIA
"The City"
(Mason Hickman / Billie Holiday / Herbert Nichols / Adia Victoria Paul)

Must everybody got somebody they run into?
Must everybody got the weary blues?
The one truth I would quickly come to realize
Is that I could get comfortable telling little lies

It's just the city, my darling
It's just the city, my darling
We're lost in the rain
I feel your pain

It's just the city, my darling
It's just the city, my darling
We're lost in the rain
I feel your pain

Every beat that you should be keeps fading
Out from under, reel into the night
And just because you gave it a name and you claimed it
Doesn't make the half of it alright

It's just the city, my darling
It's just the city, my darling
We're lost in the rain
I feel your pain

It's just the city, my darling
It's just the city, my darling
We're lost in the rain
I feel your pain

My darling
My darling

Lady sings the blues
Lady sings the blues
