Chicago Lyrics by Ben Ottewell

Shapes and Shadows

0

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
[Incomprehensible] looking down on me
Winter smile says it's only a test
And the world explodes like the [Incomprehensible]
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
