alma cook - chicago (beacons) lyrics

Loading...

chicago wind, you smell of cigars again
but i’ll still blow a kiss your way
the rumors are true: we’re steadily smothering you
but it’s my breath stolen today

not for the first time, my chest expands
for a breath as only you could understand
it won’t be the last time that i open my hand
try to catch a little beauty where i can, chicago

chicago train, you’re braving that labor pain
though your baby’s bound to leave you down the road
you’ve shown me the price of living this double life
but you rock me and let me feel at home

does anyone ask you if your wheels get tired
of turning down the freedom they desire?
does ever it hit you that there’s a murderous fire
coursing through your each and every wire, chicago?

chicago lights, backdrop to that paradise
that lured me from the narrow and the straight
the night that i ran was the night that my trouble began
but your beacons never wandered in the wait, no

i’ve got to tell you that the look in your eye
the reason that they call you the chi
is the reason i love you. it’s the way that you sigh
the way your voice breaks when you cry, chicago
