Alder Tree - Chicago Lyrics

Well I heard about it on the shallow avenues
From a pretty girl working down the street
She told me I was innocent
She warned me of the freezing wind
Blowing off of lake Michigan

I told her there's a show and my bands on the bill
And I think it'd be a thrill if she'd be my plus one
Maybe later on into the night you'll remind me
The name of the city that you come from

And as I listened to her words
I slowly fell in love with her
But now she's across the world

So I wrote her every day and we talked every night
And I know you don't believe me but i had her on my mind
Even though I was in the United Kingdom

I saw her in the city where we rang in the new year
Don't laugh but I got so drunk that I had to go outside
That's when I decided I would move for love

To Chicago where the wind blows
And the light shines high above
Chicago where the I'll rendezvous with you
My one true love

I'm dreaming of that fateful day
And I know that she feels the same

Look at us now, a couple college kids
Trying to get their fix of international fun
I know it ain't the same and I know it's cliche
But the tough get going and the going get tough

I don't know exactly what you're thinking
But you should know I don't mind the snow
And I wanna love you like I loved you back in Chico

To Chicago where the wind blows
And the light shines high above
Chicago where the I'll rendezvous with you
My one true love
