The City I Love 

Coming into the city I love 
First light of morning in the sky above 
The peaceful quiet of a lone white dove 
As I am coming into the city I love 

I ain’t waiting on a ship to come in 
I’m only here for the time that we’re in 
So just let this moment hereby begin ‘cause 
I ain’t waiting on a ship to come in no 

This place was once a young man’s dream 
And for all the others she is still the queen 
I’m just living in the slip stream 
Of a place that once was just a young man’s dream 

Hey, Hey, Hey 

So try the number and set your clock 
And they ship it up the channel man and drop it on the dock 
We run low and then we restock 
So just try the number and set your clock 

Hey, Hey, Hey 

My precious angel is still asleep 
And she’s dreaming sweetly and breathing deep 
And so I’ll just ease on through the foggy streets 
Of my precious city that is fast asleep 

‘cause I am coming into the city I love 
First light of morning in the sky above 
The peaceful quiet of a lone white dove 
As I am coming into the city I love
