This is a song I wrote as an ode to one of my favorite cities... Columbus, Ohio.
Lyrics
Couldn't feel my legs and hadn't slept since my compass broke Out on a short street sidewalk now it's stuck on north Lights shot out into the sky in shades of red Under the Main Street bridge I'd lay my head Maybe I left my home too soon Beat my insomnia by howling at the moon I miss the lights over Scarlet Town I'm a little caught up but I'll be right down Scarlet Town I miss the lights over Scarlet Town They lift me up off my feet somehow Scarlet Town Unlocked an elevator shaft just to catch a wink Stopped the door from closing with the bottle I drank Often I'd cry to St. Joseph each night I prayed He'd never hear me though, would he, through the haze I don't care how far you've come Only time will tell if it matters to anyone I miss the lights over Scarlet Town I'm a little caught up but I'll be right down Scarlet Town I miss the lights over Scarlet Town They lift me up off my feet somehow Scarlet Town Angels I have heard on high Can't I get a bit more time? Give me one more chance I'll do it right Angels that I passed on high They said hello as they walked on by My cup runneth over with nickels and dimes Here's to every street etched in my mind Would you remember me when you see that city shine? I miss the lights over Scarlet Town I'm a little caught up but I'll be right down Scarlet Town I miss the lights over Scarlet Town I'm a little caught up but I'll be right down Scarlet Town I miss the lights over Scarlet Town They lift me up off my feet somehow Scarlet Town
