Light Of Local Eyes
Polar Bear Club

The glow of gray, it lights the rain on borough streets
And the kids who stayed, they aren't holding out for their apology
Days like today make reconcile seem far away
But I hold old memories like a kid who laughs hard and grabs his ribs

There was a time when this city shined
The lights in the parking lots would lead us
Through the night and to sunrise
There was no place that we didn't own or deface
The grooves in the road would spark for us
But that book is covered in dust

The local kid I was to all my older friends
I held convictions like a stubborn door with a rusted hinge
I sat down and thought, what of here makes me proud?
Proud to not dismiss this place and hold it all from gold to gray

There was a time when this city shined
The lights in the parking lots would lead us
Through the night and to sunrise
There was no place that we didn't own or deface
The grooves in the road would spark for us
But that memory will rust

It'll rust and fade away, it'll sour these days
The rainy streets, they shine to me

We lived life out of this place
We wore its map on our faces
(When this city shined)
To say the least we left our trace
Burned off the tips of our laces
When this city shined
From the light of local eyes

  3-4 Tango   Adam O   Another night in the rock   As 'twere the mirror   Bottled Wind   Boxes   Burned out in a jar   Chasing Hamburg   Close Knit   Convinced I'm wrong   Dead Man   Drifting Thing   Eat dinner, Bury the Dog, and Run   Election Day   Heart attack at Thirty   Hollow Place   Kneel on Nails   Let my dry eyes play   Life Between the Lines   Living Saints   Most Miserable Life   My Best Days   Old Fisher Burial Ground   One Hit Back   Our Ballads   Overflow   Parked in the Parking lot of your heart   Pawner   Religion on the Radio   Resent And Resistance   Screams In Caves   See The Wind   Slow Roam   Song To Persona   Take Me To The Town   The Bug Parade   To The Engravers   Tried
