Chicago

Fog lays soft on cornfield sunrise Blackbirds blow across the sky The fog is thick on Canada Blackbirds take up with July Please forgive me, dear professor For I've caught the morning train Off at dawn to run from reason Finally I'm feeling sane And if I'm not moving, I'm dying Oh, if I'm not moving, I'm dying Summer's hot in old Chicago Sun sears through a crowded car Public, private, street performer Give them some, they'll take it far Cinderblock downtown apartment Fourteen stories from the water Thinking I could take this freedom While it's young enough to wander Please forgive me, dear professor For I've caught the morning train Off at dawn to run from reason Finally I'm feeling sane Please forgive me, my strange lover For I thought of you today While I walked alone from Windsor Promise I won't try to stay Cause if I'm not moving, I'm dying Oh, if I'm not moving, I'm dying
