City (Roger McGuinn/Camilla
McGuinn)
Left her home, came to town
Ran around in the city
Lost some dreams, found some scenes
Lost and found in the cityMet some men, just pretend
She's in love in the city
Hurt pride long slide
Try to hide in the city
New day cloud burst
Real thirst in the city
People stare, horns blare
Gotta rush in the city
Sundown in the park
and it's dark in the city
So cold, lost soul
Needs a friend in the city
She thought the lights
in the buidings up high were so pretty
But she couldn't see the twinkling
of the eye in the city
Hold on, hold fast
Stay tuned till the last
Night life brings its end
Daylight brings a friend
Met some men, trusted them
She's in love in the city
So cold, lost hope
Needs a friend in the city
Snow drift, wild wind
Long ago loved it then
That was all in the past
Too bad it couldn't last
