lyrics

Lyrics
Quiet district
in
the east

Summer nights
walking
in the rain

Monsoon
in a
moment

Waiting by
the ocean
for a train

In the sunrise still going where
people have been
for thousands of years

Tides and foreigners
come and then gone
from here

The city
has it all and the
changes give it soul

In the sunset and thunder
in the distance, I wonder
how long this place will live

after
I'm
gone

This growing star
This renaissance
Monsoon in a moment

the galaxy
unfolded
in the rain

I watched this city grow
knowing I must go
and knowing if I

come back,
it won't be the same
and nor will I

(Waiting by
the ocean
for a train...)

I might
change
it all

I might
lose
it all

but I don't
need it all
to feel whole

(Waiting by
the ocean
for a train...)
