The City And Me - Alex Day

Has it really been a year

Since you disembarked

The last time you were here

It felt like just the start

I know you love this place

And the city is

Considerate

It misses you too

It’s saying

When will you walk through my woods again

Eat up my foods again

We’ll keep all your favourites open

When will you skate on my ground again

Laugh in my town again

When will you cross the ocean

Come back to us

Just for a moment

If it’s not too much fuss

We’ll make you feel at home again

The shelves are stocked

In anticipation of your landing

Cos this is what we want

The city

The city

The city and me

The city’s always changing

And so, it seems, am I

So if we seem impatient

I guess that’s the reason why

So what are you waiting for

I got all day

Get on a train

And make your way through

Come back to us

Just for a moment

If it’s not too much fuss

We’ll make you feel at home again

The shelves are stocked

In anticipation of your landing

Cos this is what we want

The city

The city

The city and me

When will you walk through my woods again

Eat up my foods again

We’ll keep all your favourites open

When will you skate on my ground again

Laugh in my town again

When will you cross the ocean

Come back to us

Just for a moment

If it’s not too much fuss

We’ll make you feel at home again

If you wanted to

And if we’re not being too demanding

We hope you’ll see us soon

The city

The city

The city and me
