Mat Kearney
City of Black & White
[Verse 1]
This whole city's black and white
Tell me what is your color
Could it be the same as mine?
Faded greens and blue street lights
There's a red fire burning
From the sea up to the sky
[Chorus]
I don't want to wait until tomorrow
To tell you how I feel the rest of my life
You don't want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Baby, it was you who opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
In the city of black and white
Won't you just stay?
Won't you just stay?
[Verse 2]
I'm on the top still looking down
If you coming up to me
Is where the whole world wants to be found
Golden rings and coffee brown
There's a white flag waving
Where my heart is on the ground
[Chorus]
I don't want to wait until tomorrow
Tell you how I feel the rest of my life
You don't want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Baby, it was you that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
In the city of black and white
Won't you just stay?
Won't you just stay?
[Refrain]
Won't you just stay now?
When the light glows under a dark street
No one else knows
So take my hand
I'll carry you, you can carry me
[Chorus]
I don't want to wait until tomorrow
Tell you how I feel the rest of my life
You don't want a waste another minute when you realize
Walking on the dark side of the evening
Baby, it was you that opened my eyes
Burning like a fire on the water
In the city of black and white
Won't you just stay?
Mm, won't you just stay?
[Refrain]
Won't you just stay now?
When the light glows under a dark street
No one else knows
Take my hand
I'll carry you, you can carry me
Won't you just stay?
