Bill Champlin: The City lyrics

Bill Champlin

The City

The city...I hear the city calling (in the city)

Dressed up like a star in the midnight air (whoa)

So won't you let me take you there (to the city)

The city...I hear the city calling (in the city)

So clear like a light on a new frontier (whoa)

Nothin' can stop me goin' there (to the city)

You and me...cruisin' the neighborhood

You know it feels so good

Just to be home

(It's) been so long

Everything old seems new

I remember this street with you...so long ago

I gotta dream that keeps growin'

All the places I wanna see

(But) don't you know that I need you next to me

Chorus:

The city...I hear the city calling

(In the city)

Dressed up like a star in the

Midnight air (whoa)

So won't you let me take you

There (to the city) (back on the street)

Chorus 2:

The city...I hear the city calling

(In the city)

So clear like a light on a new

Frontier (whoa)

Nothin' can stop me goin' there

(To the city)

On my own...provin' my stregth will last

Thinkin' about what's past

The future's unknown

Say you're gonna come with me

To the places I haven't seen

Don't you know that you're part of the same dream

The city...I hear the city calling

(In the city)

Hold on, 'cause the things that I

Want will come (whoa)

If I keep reachin' out for the sun

(In the city) (back on the street)

The city...I hear the city calling

(In the city)

Burnin' and it's shootin' my heart

In flames (whoa)

Destiny calling out my name

(In the city)

You know I want you with me...

Need to have you near

But I'm headin' for the city...can't stay here
