Chicago

Meet me in Chicago

Down by the water line

Step across the gold coast

To my heart and to your wine

Maybe Cincinnati

With a trip in the morning light

Step across the branches

I will follow you over the Rhine

And it takes one to know one

That's what they always say

I've waited for the dawn

And I've waited for the day

Oh, I'm coming low

And I'm willing to pray

Stepping through the haze

One more day on a wide open road

On and on and the lights come and go

And everything I might not even know

What is the distance

On through the resistance singing

Oh

Meet me in Portland

Roast here in the summer light

See you in the evergreens

I will catch you down on the Northeast side

And maybe San Diego

Moonlight at the lowest tide

See you in the shoreline breaker

Stepping over my maker's line

And it takes one to know one

That's what they always say

I've waited for the dawn

And I've waited for the day

Oh, I'm coming low

And I'm willing to pray

Stepping through the haze

One more day on a wide open road

On and on and the lights come and go

And everything I might not even know

What is the distance

On through the resistance singing

You met me on the backstreets

Right there at the end of the line

Where a spark turns into fire

And a tear falls into life

And it takes one to know one

That's what they always say

I've waited for the dawn

And I've waited for the day

Oh, I'm coming low

And I'm willing to pray

Stepping through the haze

One more day on a wide open road

On and on and the lights come and go

And everything I might not even know

What is the distance

On through the resistance

On a wide open road

On and on and the lights come and go

And everything I might not even know

What is the distance

On through the resistance singing

Oh

Meet me in Chicago

Down by the water line

You stepped across the gold coast

Stepped into this heart of mine
