Embracing Urban Dreams: Yearning for More in Meg Hutchinson's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
I feel the pull of distant cities
I sense the attraction of distant cities
I hear the yellin of the trains
I perceive the loud sounds of passing trains
Learn to handle all the hours of these new found days
Learning to cope with the extended hours of these newfound days
I hear the wailing of the sirens
I hear the mournful cries of sirens
Moving out along the sound
These sounds are moving out along the body of water (the sound)
Tonight I feel so much more dangerous
Tonight, I feel significantly more daring
Than this sweet little town
Compared to this small, charming town
Chorus:
[Chorus]
I want to walk down streets with strangers everywhere
I desire to stroll down streets among unfamiliar faces
want to hear jazz on Tuesdays and have a life
Wish to experience jazz on Tuesdays and live a life that goes unnoticed
'bout which no one cares
I long to wear a small red dress and inhale the city air
want to wear a tiny red dress and taste the city air
I crave for more
I want more
[Reiteration of the desire for more]
Though I've never been to Paris
Even though I've never been to Paris
I can see it in my mind
I can envision it in my thoughts
I guess one good thing about being young
One positive aspect of being young is having ample time
Is I've got all kinds of time
[Acknowledging the freedom of youth]
Chorus:
[Chorus]
I want to find a place to stay
I desire to find a place to stay
With pretty boys in cafes
With attractive individuals in cafes
I want to sing all morning above the screaming of the subway
I want to sing above the noise of the subway in the morning
I want to walk and walk and walk until I lose my way
I want to wander until I lose my way
want to forget all about you for one whole day . . .
Yearning to forget about you for an entire day
I want more
[Reiteration of the desire for more]
I see the blinking of the signs
I observe the blinking of the signs
Maybe one day my name in lights
Perhaps, one day, my name will be in lights
Even my skin can't hold me tight
Even my skin feels inadequate to confine me
I feel much too wild for this country night
I feel too untamed for this rural night
Chorus:
[Chorus]
