Chicago Sunrise

I was travelling the new world
and on my way from north to south
I found myself in Chicago

I saw the sunrise and forgot about you
It shone a different light
and I escaped you - there is someone else on my mind for now

It brought to light the windy city,
cold and bleak,
like the embers of you and me

I knew I was off to a better places
where the sun shines, clearing my head
there you fade with the setting sun

They all just wind, unwind, wind out of me

A year and a day and three broken hearts are
Books lined up on the shelves of
Too many words I said
But I just wind, wind, unwind myself

Ghosts of a thousand memories
Have taken over this place just
Faces in dreams and corners
They help me wind, wind unwind myself out
