The Graduate - The City That Reads lyrics

Baltimore is quiet and cold There's no ship in the bay to take me back home In time for the holiday So December never ends You come here instead I've got gifts and food and friends Plenty of room in my bed Oh, you can help me mend So here's to being alone To anyone on their own If anyone's listening Think of me when I'm gone It's not going to hurt for long And you can just forget And I can live without regret Baltimore is quiet and cold So I walk down to the bay Where everyone's gone inside for the holiday Oh, December never ends So will you make up your mind Over time I've found a piece of me Somewhere on these empty streets That I could never bring myself to leave So here's to being alone To anyone on their own If anyone's listening Think of me when I'm gone It's not going to hurt for long And you can just forget When I return to you at last Surprise me in red and black Oh no, you never ever give in Never give in When you smile there's a certain line Of muscles strained from front to back So I'll do anything to get me right back home So here's to being alone To anyone on their own If anyone's listening Think of me when I'm gone It's not going to hurt for long So here's to being alone To anyone on their own If anyone's listening Think of me when I'm gone It's not going to hurt for long And you can just forget And I can live without regret
