lyrics

In the summer in the city
people running under
bridges and the banners
of 6th street shopfronts
I can still remember
we were wet together
running through the rain
from something we could not explain

You lived on the east side
I lived on the west side
riding on the train at 5am
while businessmen in suits
with fancy jobs in Midtown
scrambled out the doors
to chase their city dreams

I'm waiting on you, baby
I need you here tonight
I know your world has changed
but I could never leave you
before you got to feel what's right

walking through these streets
is something like a movie
where everyone is rushing
but no one's moving
the city in the summer
is where they get together
but no one can remember
just what their loving means

I'm waiting on you, baby
I need you here tonight
I know your world has changed
but I could never leave you
promise I would keep you
I would never leave you
before you got to feel what's right

Rain falls down upon the avenues
and runs in rivulets
and spirals down the sewers

I'm waiting on you, baby
I need you here tonight
I have seen your torment
beneath those city lights
I'm waiting on you, baby
please pick up the phone
I know your world has changed
but it's summer in the city
you will never be alone
