City – Written March 1994 (Aged 19)

City

I need the city atmosphere near.
I need the cityscape in my vision;
just make things clear,
because the city blues do not seem to exist.
City life is difficult to resist;
cityscape seems alright.

I do need that city atmosphere,
I need it close to my mind
and in my soul;
I need it, always near.

City good times are what I want.
Cityscape is my world,
buildings that peer then loom.

City, I am joining you soon.
A skyscraper horizon is part of the old-time heaven.

Cityscape, take me into your heart;
I need that city atmosphere,
do not let me part.

James Garratt March 1994
