The light from the city
lit the night, as if in pity
It was cold but I was heated
It was all that I needed
We were walking through the streets
She was talking drunk to me
when I saw a man take a shot
from across a parking lot
It happened so suddenly and
I didn't know it, but I was bleeding
all over Tower Road
If I need more than redeeming
tell me Lord, am I defeated?
I was dying in the street
She was crying over me
I could see into her soul
It was sweet and beautiful
And that was all that I needed
To feel loved as I was leaving
Then there was light
and there were sirens
They filled the night
then it was silent on Tower Road
