This song is for anyone who has ever longed to return to the city or to experience city life for the first time.
Story behind the song
This song was originally written about my experience in Boston, MA and is currently being written as a variation into a muscial I am working on.
Lyrics
The city is where I leave it,everything I own;
my pride, my dignity, my music and my soul.
The people are so exquisite and I feel at home,
seaside, oh, hear my plea, elusive and so close.
I wanna be, I need to see, I gotta be.
Take me back to the city,
Where the light shines on me.
Take me back to the city,
Its where I need to be.
On Massachussetts Avenue, such a lovely view.
We played so happily, although we never knew;
We'd leave one day from the cape
No I can't escape, the space trapped inside me,
Flying free to the sluice.
