Heartbreak City
by Michael Omartian

Album: The Race

It's another night headed for nowhere,
It's another face alone in the crowd,
One more walking wounded,
Who once lost her dream,
Downtown the dark is selling for beauty,
What's just a lie in full light of day,
Satisfaction is sold like cheap magazines.

Pre-Chorus
There's a crack in your concrete heart,
That's wide enough for a tear,
There's a light right there in the night,
That's shining through the dark you fear

Chorus:
I've seen the tears that run like rivers,
Under the streets of this heartbreak city,
Sirens scream like a cry from above,
Lord, have mercy, we're just looking for love.

She has a dream over and over,
The alley at night she knows has no end,
Any man with a fee is her one and only.

Here I sit like a judge and jury,
I can't hear it when the wounded scream,
While every last lost soul in this city,
Knows the nightmare of a lost dream.
