Here in this city you live in,
A city of grey and brown,
And from where I'm standin', it's just an American town.
Hum, um, um, um, um, um,um.
And I'm caught in between destinations,
A little change of plans,
And I'm here in this city you live in,
With time on my hands.
Here in this city you live in,
A'goin' the old world alone,
If not for these old connections I'd sink like a stone.
Hum, um, um, um, um, um, um.
'Cause the spring time turned to summer,
And summer turned to fall,
And I'm here in this city that you live in,
And I just had to call.
And I can't help but sometimes wonder,
About your far away life,
Come in like the sound of thunder,
On a warm summer niii-i-i-ight.
Here in this city that you live in,
So close yet so far,
I spend my time now in airports and hotels and bars.
Hum, um, um, um, um, um,um.
And it's all about makin' connections,
And all what might have been,
But I'm here in this city you live in,
And I'm just checkin' in.
Hum, um, um, um, um, um,um.

Here in this city,
Ha-ha, ha-haaaa.
