It was raining on Sixth and Ninth that night
The city streets were so cold
You turned the corner and caught my eye
And since those days we've grown old
But I keep on trying every time
To keep you from sinking so low
Now I'm leaving you here with songs of hope in rhyme
That'll live on after I go
You're mourning for days of distant times
But moments like that come and go
It's hard to leave them all behind
Believe me darling I know
But I keep on trying every time
To keep us from sinking so low
Now I'm leaving you here with songs of hope in rhyme
That'll live on after I go
I left so many lives behind
That I could not stand
But with all the days to come
We're running out of time
