Foggy night, a winding road, silent sound of afterglow Where secrets grow and flicker in the fading light Wandering these streets alone, lost in love, so far from home But blood and bone, I'm left to know which way is right In the gaslight district, where up is down and faith is real In the gaslight district, where bitter hearts are soft as steel Lonely minds breathe twisted, it doesn't matter what you feel In the gaslight district You dimmed the light and gripped my love, swearing under God above You'd freed the dove and finally knew what to do Every time you said her name, I shut my eyes and took the blame I tried in vain, to seek and find the truth in you In the gaslight district, where what you know is burned away In the gaslight district, you've mind to go and heart to stay But the dawn comes glistening, and shadows fade in light of day In the gaslight district
