City Of Roses Lyrics - Sufjan Stevens

A break in the clouds is a break in my day 

Face the sun of my salvation 

As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own feet 

Fly by the wings of your creation 

On the top of your head, there is a poem 

The thought in my head, oh God only knows 

As everything else will disappoint you 

I used to be young and bold 

But now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old 

I followed the light to the City of Roses

It's a little-known fact that I can't cope 

I'm the champion of repression 

I've had it enough with the east coast 

I'll die by the wings of my ambition

The city I left, the city of throes 

The one that I loved, the city of hope 

As everything else will disappoint you 

I used to be young and bold 

But now I'm of age, I'm getting so old 

I followed the light to the City of Roses 

A break in the clouds is a break in my day
