Philadelphia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Global warming is getting me down
It's making the sea between us wider and deeper
Now i'm no Moses and i don't know how to slip up the ocean and drive right on over
I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia
I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia
Now the sun is shinning, it's cathing my eye
And there's still so much work to do and i just wanna call you
But even on the phone it's not like life
Oh, i want you here now, i want you around
I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia
I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia
And now you're in Israel having a good time
And all i get is odd email saying you're fine
Now i could catch a plane but i'm pretty broke
And i don't wanna make things worse than they already are
Now you could call me, but i know you won't
It's not your nature to travel that far
I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia
I'm going to have to wait a year to see you again in Philadelphia
