lyrics

In Prague, they walk about
In Prague, they sit
I walked the streets of Prague
For a raindrop full of wit

Too bad to know it’s only water
Your spires only stone
In Prague, they’re dancing in the moonlight
And I’m alone

And the world will fall, or the world will see
How each thing was meant to be.
All the dangers new, how the time it flew
But life went on, life goes on.

In Prague I turned a corner
Looking for someone I knew
Something I hadn’t seen in minutes
How the years they flew

I turn my head up to the skyline
I press my feet into the stone
In Prague I finally found the answer
Dancing alone

That I might fall, if I can’t see
How this city was built to be
I was blinded right, by a finer light
But your stone pathways gave me back my sight

Oh you walk between two worlds
The wistful old, and searing new
Oh your bullet-ridden statues
Remind me of how far you’ve come

And prague...
You might fall, before they see
Your bridges crumble that rescued me
But I will keep all your peaceful sleep
And I’ll remember what you said to me

And so, you’ll stay here Prague
Cause’ you’re afraid to leave
But if I’m passing through
You can hitch a ride
