about

In my inability to sleep late at night one time, I conceived the idea of love being represented by a city with those closer to the center being closer to the concept.

lyrics

I heard that love is a city where most people reside in the suburbs
Empty hearts with no means to ever quite make it downtown
So I visited it a few times with each finding myself a little closer
And I’m in the center now as if my destination has been found
And yeah this life’s been a mystery; I never thought I’d be an explorer
I never thought I’d discover such comfort in another human being
But the city of love is made of stories for those that will listen
In fact each one is a time capsule that’s been used to build the city

And I’d love, to live in the city of love
Yes just to live in the city of love
Oh how I’d love to live in the city of love

And sure people move, new tenants come and go rather often
Some just for the weekend, others never to be seen again
But hearts are not so distant, no not even if forgotten
A fine memory enough for some just for a grin on occasion
But the city of love is a place thriving in the present
It’s so crowded that expired moments have been vanquished
And in their place there is a hope looking into the eyes of the future
As each lover gazes back after making the same wish

And I’d love, to live in the city of love
Yes just to live in the city of love
Oh how I’d love to live in the city of love

And I’d love, to live in the city of love
Yes just to live in the city of love
Oh how I’d love to live in the city of love
