Back in the City Lyrics by The Wave Pictures

When the Purple Emperor Spreads His Wings

2022

[Verse 1]
Standing by the river
Three hours before sunrise
You look at me
Your pale green eyes
Curly brown hair
Eating popcorn by the fire
By the river
Late summer night
[Pre-Chorus]
Come back to the city in the morning
Come back to the city in the morning
Come back to the city in the morning
With me
[Chorus]
You know I won't do you wrong (Back in the city)
Come and live where you belong (Back in the city)
Come and live with me and we will be
Happy together
[Verse 2]
Pale green shoots
Coming up out of the dirt
And evеry part of me hurts from the long walk
Down upon the covе
Dandelions
Dandelions clouds
Sunflowers
And cherry trees
[Pre-Chorus]
Come back to the city in the morning
Come back to the city in the morning
Come back to the city in the morning
With me
[Chorus]
You know I won't do you wrong (Back in the city)
Come and live where you belong (Back in the city)
Come and live with me and we will be
Happy together
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You know I won't do you wrong (Back in the city)
Come and live where you belong (Back in the city)
Come and live with me and we will be
Happy forever
