Select language to translate this lyric
Katherines on the front porch, smoking her last cigarette
Pots on the stove, furnace canât keep on its own
Mamas doing crosswords, dadyâs in his rocking chair
Let the barn door burn, ring the telegraph/telephone
We built a good life here
A little piece of heaven
Let the blue sky shine
Through Godâs own nation
Chicago, Iâve been waiting on a sunrise for way too long
Chicago, Iâve been waiting on a sunrise for way too long
Corner-store doctor is closing shop on this main street
Butcherâs busy carving up a new stock of lamb
They take pride in the weight of their boxed up memories
And leave it all to chance, on a borrowed Uncle Sam
We built a good life here
A little piece of heaven
See the smoke and hear the screams
From the fire-engines
Chicago, Iâve been waiting on a sunrise for way too long
Chicago, Iâve been waiting on a sunrise for way too long
Sitting on this park bench, waiting for a train to come
On a city all boarded up on aftermath and these re-writes
They take pride in the weight of their boxed up memories
But itâll be hot one in the old town tonight
Old town tonight
We built a good life here
A little piece of heaven
See the smoke and hear the screams
From the fire-engines
Chicago, Iâve been waiting on a sunrise for way too long
Chicago, Iâve been waiting on a sunrise for way too long
