"Half The City" lyrics - ST. PAUL AND THE BROKEN BONES

Oh this poor and lonely heart,
It is made of pure steel
Yet you can't let it cry
At the poor end of the street

I populated half the city, child
But I still can't find no love
Somebody has to heal me
From up above

Ain't no way that I could stay
Everyday, oh every day
There she goes, her arms that hold me closely
So closely

No I can't let it down
This hope I feel
Oh the city's made me cry
But I still can't leave her
The street's are paved with pain
I'm not passing up
Please don't let it down
'Cause I've had enough

Ain't no way that I could stay
Everyday, oh every day
There it goes, her arms that hold me closely
So closely

I know that it's time
For this city of mine
To just crumble down and let me hold her
Let me hold her
Let me, let me hold her
All you've go to do, I know, I know
