Lyrics

(Dm11)Ice,

These cit y lights,

they shine as sil ver and gold dug from the (Dm11)night.

Your eyes (Bb6)as black as coal.

(F)Walk on (C)by, (F)walk on (C)through, (Eb)walk (Ebsus2)’til you run, (Ebsus2)and don’t look (Bbsus)back,

for (Bbsus)here

I am.

Car ni (Dm11)val.

The wheels fly and the col ors spin through al co hol.

Red wine that (Bb6)punc tures the skin.

Face to face

in a dry and (Bb6)wa ter less place.

(F)Walk on (C)by, (F)walk on (C)through.

So (Eb)sad (Ebsus2)to be seige your (Ebsus2)love so

(Bb)head on.

And (F)if the (Fsus2)moun tains should (F)crum ble
