作曲 : Hirway
I took you to the place where I was born
You said that it was just as I'd described
We moved in soon after the days turned warm
just in time to see the spring arrive
I watched you through the windows in our room
Your hair grew long under the arbor shade
Our love was new, but the hour grew late too soon
How suddenly that honeyed light would fade
You had the city in you
Always in the way you moved
were the skyline and the avenues
You had the city in you, I knew
Always in the way you moved
were the skyline and the avenues
When the autumn came,
the leaves turned one by one,
'til the barren trees were left to stand alone
You still felt the same, as since we had begun,
but a longing crept into the eyes I'd known
I watched you pack; I was rooted to the spot
We fell asleep a while beneath the oak
"It's our job to live as we can in the time we've got,"
was written in the note I found when I woke
You had the city in you
Always in the way you moved
were the skyline and the avenues
You had the city in you, I knew
So before the weary ache wore through,
you slipped back into the avenues
You had the city in you.("It's our job to live as we can in the time we've got")
Always in the way you moved
were the skyline and the avenues
You had the city in you, I knew("It's our job to live as we can in the time we've got")
So before the weary ache wore through,
you slipped back into the avenues
