City Song

from Long, Long Skies by Gordon Midgley

/

lyrics

Wheels turning out of sight, towards the sun towards the light
Distant mantra draws me on
Then I see how far I've come
And how far left to go for me
A lullaby of motion gently builds until
I hear a song
The song a city sings

There beyond the skyline, more than glass or steel
A rhythm always changing, a tempo you can feel
Movement quick with purpose, a beating heart I see
Melody in everything, it sings to me

Safe from Autumn winds, swiftly rising high
In the clouds, we pause awhile
They begin their serenade then see us away
Kaleidoscope of faces, marvel as the colours blur
I hear the song this city sings
I thought I'd never hear
Saying yes once more
Say it, from the heart

A lullaby of motion gently builds until
I hear the melody, the song this city sings
Sings for me

Rising, reviving, anew, everything
The song is now
