Chicago

I'm stuck here in Chicago The only wind that blows is from back home It fills the sails of this morning Even though I'm rising here alone Chicago Chicago I'm waiting on the race back And all the horses scare before the gate The bar lights flicker with the nights warm swell Sirens call the promise of escape I put myself in an osprey's breast This weird cold tars some up here, looking down on me Winter smile says it's only a test And the world explodes like the Holden Rico Call me into the lake Drag my body 'cross Michigan State Take me east from these Dark hollowed valleys outback Call me up to your face Hold my body but not so I wake Keep the dream like a Figurine threatening to break I'm stuck here in Chicago The ticket in my pockets sounds a truce The wind last night seemed to soothe my mind Even though I'm not yet home with you Chicago Chicago
