Ugly City — текст песни (Seals and Crofts)

(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1975)
From the album I`LL PLAY FOR YOU (1975).

Oh, this ugly city. I can`t even seem to see the stars up above.
Oh, this lonely city. Where can I go but to the arms of the one I love.
She knows me. We`ve got so many things, I should be so thankful.
She`s beautiful, and day by day it just grows and grows.

And like the ocean, it just rolls. While the ugly city grows.
But we`re safe my love and me, `cause our love is like the sea, oh.

I once saw a rainbow in Washington. But only one, then day was done.
It lived for just a little while, then the city smiled and it died.

Someday I`ll leave this ugly city. Up and pack my bags and catch me an eastern bound train.
Yes, I`m gonna leave this lonely city. I`m leaving just as soon as I find my fortune and fame.
Oh this ugly city. Working a poor man to fill an early grave.
Wish it would rain.
