I started with the am7 chord and the beat, and then used what happened to be on my mind for lyrics.

1
lights from the city
In the morning sky
I tried so hard
not to say goodbye
it’s never the same
nobody to blame
so many reasons why I see
the lights from the city
in the morning sky

2

soggy moon
reflected on the ground
miles are hopes
memory is the sound
who can say
that going away
can turn it all around for me
the soggy moon
reflected on the ground

3
the evening fog
hanging soft and low
a new belief
time to say hello
you pushed me away
there’s nothing to say
but this is where I am today
and the evening fog
is hanging soft and low
