In the city, she wakes, before the break of day,

She'd burn the city down, she'd burn it all for love

Can you see the people, staring at the steeples

Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?
G D
Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus,
Am C
Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely?
Em, G, D, Am Em

The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white
