You said you'd meet me in Chicago But I didn't see your face You said you're leaving her tomorrow But I'm still waiting without a trace You said you'd be here in the morning I wait alone with my suitcase Promise you'd break the news to her last weekend Two empty seats inside the train This windy city won't sleep without you This windy city is hiding all the bad news You said remember our Chicago Secret phone calls late at night All of our meetings were in shadow Can we walk out in the sunlight? This windy city won't sleep without you This windy city is hiding all the bad news Time moves so slowly when hope is naive I feel I'm foolish I fear I'm drowning, yeah This was our Chicago This was our new road I can't let go I can't help but be hopeful This windy city will have to get along without me This windy city has nothing left for me
