Sidewalks Of The City Lyrics - Lucinda Williams

As you walk along the sidewalks of the city 

You see a man with hunger in his face 

And all around you crumbling buildings and graffiti 

As you bend down to tie your shoelace 

Sirens scream but you don't listen 

You have to reach home before night 

But now the sun beats down it makes the sidewalks glisten 

And somehow you just don't feel right 

Hold me, baby, give me some faith 

Let me know you're there let me touch your face 

Give me love give me grace 

Tell me good things tell me that my world is safe

You pass by bars with empty stages 

Three o'clock drinkers fall by 

Chairs are placed on top of tables 

As you brush the hair out of your eyes 

Photos 

A woman stops you with a question 

So you drop some money in her hand 

She sleeps in doorways and bus stations 

And you'll never understand 

Hold me, baby, give me some faith 

Give me love give me grace 

Tell me good things tell me that my world is safe
