Intro

Verse

 In the city, she wakes, before the break of day,

 Cold water on her face, so lonely

 Between the glass and iron, she'd like to start a fire,

 She'd burn the city down, she'd burn it all for love

Chorus

 Can you see the people, staring at the steeples

 Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?

 Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus,

 Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely?

Verse

 In the city, she wakes, the smoke is cleared away,

 The fire's just a flame, still breathing,

 She made a big debut on Fifth Avenue,

 Then the village voice review took the fire from her eyes

Chorus

 Can you see the people, staring at the steeples

 Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?

 Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus,

 Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely?

We're walking right beside the ones we used to fight,

 The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white,

 We see for the first time, when we stop the fight,

 The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white

Chorus

 Can you see the people, staring at the steeples

 Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?

 Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus,

 Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely?
