lyrics

City of Fur
Chris Velan

Tell me in your mother tongue
The meaning of the song we sung
I’m not old yet but I’m not young
What once was strong is fading
Island tethered to the shore
Do you know me anymore
One bridge will me to her door
With what I have left for trading

Come back to me
My city of fur
What we are now is not
What we were
Did I let you get away
I’m not sure
If I can stay
My city of fur

Over the mountain one more time
For something that I left behind
Looked everywhere but I still can’t find
Your new saints and sages
You knitted my broken bones
Your streets of neon cobblestones
What we all share but no one owns
Light up your darkened stages

Come back to me
My city of fur
What we are now is not
What we were
Did I let you get away
I’m not sure
If I can stay
My city of fur


Lodged inside the river’s throat
I can sing you note for note
Cross the ice and burn the boat
The outpost of our dreaming

Come back to me
My city of fur
What we are now is not
What we were
Did I let you get away
I’m not sure
If I can stay
My city of fur
