This Could Be the One - Flaco Jimenez

This town has its claws buried in my neck This town, it takes lives, without mercy, without hate The streets are in distress The sun suffocates behind darkened skies The grass is growing on top of my feet I'm sinking, won't be long, before I'm too deep to run The line up seems endless Underneath the salvation signs We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause We are the bend before the break, our steps seal our fate Because this city, this city is haunted By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls) Every step I take I leave a small piece Of myself behind, soon there will be nothing left The cracks in the pavement Match the cracks in their weathered skin The sky's a brick wall, the ground's a juggernaut Each day they get a bit closer, between them, I am caught I stare in amazement I can't believe this is where I live Every breath I take I feel my lungs seal This breeze feels more like shards of glass I'm more scars than skin Because this city, this city is haunted By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls) Our steps seal fate Our steps seal fate This is our celebration Come join the lost souls This is our celebration Come join the lost souls This city, this city is haunted Oh, walk with us Oh, down, walk with us This city, this city is haunted By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted And there's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)

I could be your sea of sand I could be your warmth of desire I could be your prayer of hope I could be your gift of everyday I could be your tide of heaven I could be a hint of what's to come I could be ordinary I could be the one I could be your blue eyed angel I could be the storm before the calm I could be your secret pleasure I could be your well wishing well I could be your breath of life I could be your European dream I could be ordinary I could be the one And I would lie here in the darkness And I would lie here for all time And I would lie here watching over you Comfort you Sing to you I could be your worry partner I could be your socialite I could be your green eyed monster I could be your force of light I could be your temple garden I could be your tender hearted child I could be ordinary I could be the one And I would lie here in the darkness And I would lie here for all time And I would lie here watching over you Comfort you Sing to you Will I ever change the journey Will the hushed tones disappear Oh little Rita Let me hold you (let me hold you) Oh little Rita (let me love) Let me love you (let me love, let me love) I could be your leafy island I could be your thunder in the clouds I could be your dark enclosure I could be your romantic soul I could be your small beginning I could be your soothing universe I could be ordinary I could be the one I could be ordinary I could be the one I could be ordinary I could be the one
