Seals And Crofts Ugly City lyrics

Oh, this ugly city, I can't even seem to see the stars up above
Oh, this lonely city, where can I go but to the arms of the one I love

She knows me, we've got so many things, I should be so thankful
She's beautiful, and day by day it just grows and grows

And like the ocean, it just rolls, while the ugly city grows
But we're safe my love and me, 'cause our love is like the sea, oh

I once saw a rainbow in Washington but only one, then day was done
It lived for just a little while, then the city smiled and it died


Someday, I'll leave this ugly city
Up and pack my bags and catch me an eastern bound train

Yes, I'm gonna leave this lonely city
I'm leaving just as soon as I find my fortune and fame

Oh, this ugly city, working a poor man to fill an early grave
Wish it would rain
