Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember the white city
Painted soft in my hands
Milk-bright walls, open windows
Bread heat rising from the pans
I was small in its shadow
But it held me like a song
Every door felt half-open
Like I’d always belonged
[Pre-Chorus]
And the days ran slow
Then slipped away
Snow on the tongue
Then gone by May
[Chorus]
White city, white city
You kept me safe
Warm and welcoming
In your faded lace
White city, white city
I still can see
Time flies by so
Time like snow to me
[Verse 2]
I miss streets I walked
Stone by stone in the rain
The old corner shop
And the names etched in the paint
I miss the old steps creaking
Under boots that knew my stride
And the little yard at evening
Where the lamps would wake the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
And the days ran slow
Then slipped away
Snow on the tongue
Then gone by May
[Chorus]
White city, white city
You kept me safe
Warm and welcoming
In your faded lace
White city, white city
I still can see
Time flies by so
Time like snow to me
[Bridge]
Now I carry your mornings
In the pocket of my coat
A child in a winter window
A name I still know by heart
If I wander far tomorrow
If my roads get rough and long
Take me back through the snowfall
Where I first learned this song
[Chorus]
White city, white city
You kept me safe
Warm and welcoming
In your faded lace
White city, white city
I still can see
Time flies by so
Time like snow to me
