Danny Jones - Silence Of The City lyrics

It was Tuesday afternoon

I got home from work quite soon

I turned on the TV and what did I see?

I saw World War III staring back at me

I thought I might wake up to reality

There wasn't gonna be (yeah)

And all I could see was this horrific tragedy

CHORUS:

In the silence of the city

No mobile phones ring

In the silence of the city

You cannot hear a thing

In the silence of the city

The smiles are washed away

In the silence of the city

There's nothing left to say

New York, New York,

so good they named you twice

the city that never sleeps

do you believe your eyes?

And by this act of war

The Big Apple is eaten to the core

And two tall towers

Crumble to the floor

And Manhattan isnt there

It's there no more

CHORUS

And hardened New York cops

With tears in their eyes

Tired and worn out firefighters

Hoping to hear cries

And emergency medics

Overcome by exhaustion and all

Rescue workers filled with deep emotions

CHORUS

The 11th of September 2001

The World Trade Center and the US Pentagon

These pictures that we see

Almost defies belief

On the streets of New York City,

People are hit by shear grief

CHORUS

The New York City Skyline

We all admired before,

Tall twin towers,

Simply are there no more

Silence of the city (7x)

Silence
