Crystal City

Crystal City
In the blue-gray sky, the disappearing constellations
Illuminate the dawn
The smell of ink on a fresh newspaper
The news lined up still looks sleepy
Take a little shine
The city has countless faces
Like brilliant-cut diamonds
Each one sparkling
Will soon shine
Even in the 50th-floor sky restaurant
And in that dark underground artist
The same morning comes around
And the city is new again today
Always searching for something unseen
Let me fly, let me fly
Knowing various lives
The city says nothing
Accepting everything as it is
Carving out today
The bustling royal road is a band of light
If we stay like this, it's Manhattan
In the midst of passing days with a light rhythm
If there's just one sparkle
This is always a faint city, Crystal City
Yes, it's waiting for you today too
This is always a faint city, Crystal City
Yes, it's waiting for you today too
