See the proud men
Tall and confident
And the crowd that is forming
How the motion
Bring a gladness
To your heart

And the mystery
Pull you closer
To your fellow man
In the lamplight
Let your feet fall
In time to the sound of...

(Chorus)
A town polite receives you
Could bring you to your knees
My sweet

Or lift you
Like a wind to
A featherly falling
All the dreams
That you clung to
As a boy

Held under their canvas
Wrapped up in a web of twine
Unveil me
Derail me
Close me up and I'll

(Chorus)
Wander through the station
Like I used to do
With you
And our town tonight will break through
A city for to be
My sweet
