(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1975)
|
Oh, this ugly city. I can't even seem to see the stars up above.
|
Oh, this lonely city. Where can I go but to the arms of the one I love.
|
She knows me. We've got so many things, I should be so thankful.
|
She's beautiful, and day by day it just grows and grows.
|
|
And like the ocean, it just rolls. While the ugly city grows.
|
But we're safe my love and me, 'cause our love is like the sea, oh.
|
|
I once saw a rainbow in Washington. But only one, then day was done.
|
It lived for just a little while, then the city smiled and it died.
|
|
Someday I'll leave this ugly city. Up and pack my bags and catch me an eastern bound train.
|
Yes, I'm gonna leave this lonely city. I'm leaving just as soon as I find my fortune and fame.
|
Oh this ugly city. Working a poor man to fill an early grave.
|
Wish it would rain.
