In the City

Words and music by Edith Banks 2025

Back

Feel of your hand next to mine

I’m trying not to laugh if I laugh I’ll cry

Oh I’m trying my best

To cover up your sad and loneliness

Cos suddenly I can’t seem to make up my mind

I know that it hurts to recall what you’ve been through

And I don’t wanna force you out a mind so black and bruised

Oh I’m trying my best

To help you get some things off your chest

But suddenly it’s hard to be there for you

Now I’m all alone in the city

And I can’t find myself right in front of me

Am I too far gone in the city

Am I too far gone

Am I too far gone

Am I too far gone

Think I don’t know what you’ve been through

It’s hard to forget when it’s all we say and do

Oh I’m trying my best

To recognise it makes the pressure less

But suddenly you’re asking me to give my all to you 

Now I’m all alone in the city

And I can’t find myself right in front of me

Am I too far gone in the city

(Too too far gone, Too too far gone)

Am I too far gone

Am I too far gone

Am I too far gone

(Too too far gone)

Don’t you know that I’m 

(Too too far gone)

Everybody says I’m 

(Too too far gone)

Doesn’t matter cos I’m 

(Too too far gone)

Oooo

(Too too far gone)

Don’t you know that I’m 

(Too too far gone)

Everybody says I’m 

(Too too far gone)

Doesn’t matter cos I’m 

(Too too far gone)
