City of Trees

from Goodnight by Josh Belville

/

lyrics

he stands at the back of the bus station
his ticket in hand
earphones all full of the melodies
of his favorite band
with his worn out jeans and his rustic heart
this country boy is taking part
in the city of trees

he spies a girl cross the motorway
patterned in blue
shivering, she swigs from the snifter
and looks for her shoes
there's a lull in time when their eyes both meet
out there in the middle of the street
in the city of trees

she takes him up to the depot
where they eat cheese and drink wine
and after dark they lay low
talk all night and waste their time
their time
in the city of trees

they watch the lonely teens enter
from the outside
holding hands arbitrarily
the two weren't surprised
with a midnight scone and a kiss so sweet
they both bought more than they could eat
in the city of trees
