Horizon before me
I watch as the sun breaks the haze.
The wheels hit the tarmac
I shuffle myself through the maze.
Take the “L” downtown through the night.
Lake Michigan sits proud with her crown of soaring lights.
Hello, hello.

It’s been far too long since I’ve seen you
How do you do?
I’m quite well myself
Can we see all the sights and the zoo?
How I’ve missed your sweet company.
It’s been a rocky road at times, would you agree?
Nowhere to go.

Chicago
I’ve known you from before.
No mistaken
My feet have walked your shores.
My old friend,
I’m knocking at your door
Chicago,
Won’t you tell me more?

A blanket of twilight
I watch as the stars rise above.
Now boarding gate 30,
I leave you, my city, with love.
You are near my heart from here on out
No one will ever take what I have found.
No no no.
