Fade out, oh this is hard enough to say Oh when the waves are crashing down And those eyes turn away Fade out, but I can't learn to love you night by night When I know that you're far, when I know that you're far And I find you high in the east of the city and I will stay another day Coz I wanna live, I wanna live it I know I want the pressure to hold, I wanna give up life of a sinner, life of a sinner Now and I wanna quit it, I wanna quit it and grow, I need the city to know. I wanna live it down by the river, down by the river And now this black rose that leads me searching through the snow As the towers breaking down, in crowds I'm still alone Time works hard on me As I search through the starless sky, and I drive through the pines, misreading the signs. Are you coming home Coz I wanna live, I wanna live it I know I want the pressure to hold, I wanna give up life of a sinner, life of a sinner Now and I wanna quit it, I wanna quit it and grow, I need the city to know, I wanna live it down by the river, down by the river Coz I wanna live, I wanna live it I know I want the pressure to hold, I wanna give up life of a sinner, life of a sinner Now and I wanna quite it, I wanna quit it and grow, I need the city to know, I wanna live it down by the river, down by the river River, River, River, River
