Lyrics

Last train disappears from view
When it's over, what can you do?
It's a little bit more than broken, this heart
It's a little bit more than broken, this heart
Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean?
Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes...
Madonna and child in the city square
A thousand people, no, no love to spare
It's a little bit more than broken, this heart
It's a little bit more than broken, but you never break apart
Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean?
Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes...
A rock and a hard place
She tired of getting nowhere, she tired of being erased
By casual indifference, her life shot in her face
She gonna be muscle, she gonna be muscle
Refuse to give into her past, to start anew is now her task
Her man was just a boy, you see
But she's a woman with responsibility
Sixteen and a half with a baby and a rattle
She shed a lot of tears, but now she's gonna battle
As to easing her pain in a similar vein
For that's another bad move, won't do that again
Got a little bit of help, got to be enough
The welfare and some people with their charity stuff
And though it's hard, she started studying
She's going back to school
Some of her friends, they say she's just a fool
They say she doesn't stand a chance, life is just a crock
They tell her, "Give it up," but man, the girl is tough
The girl is tough

Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean?
Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean?
Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean?
Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean?
Sunrise in the city of dreams
Sometimes, do you know what I mean?
