Let Me Live in Your City (work-in-progress) Songtext
von Paul Simon

You got the cool water
When the fever runs high
You got the look of love light in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
Till you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
Whoa, let me live in your city
The river′s so pretty
The air is so fine, mm
Rent me a room where I can lay over, oh
I'm just a traveler
Eatin′ up travelin' time, mm
I'm just a traveler
Eatin′ up my travelin′ time
They got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they built it strong
And I got a wall around me
You can′t even see


It took a little time to get to me
Whoa, let me live in your city
The river's so pretty
The air is so fine, mm
Rent me a room where I can lay over, oh
I′m just a traveler
Eatin' up travelin′ time, whoa
I'm just a traveler
Eatin' up my travelin′ time
Some people never say the words "I love you"
It′s not their style to be so bold
Some people never say those words "I love you"
But like a child, they're longing to be told
Mm-mm-mm, let me live in that city
The river′s so pretty
The air is so fine, mm
Rent me a room where I can lay over, oh
I'm just a traveler
Eatin′ up travelin' time, oh
I′m just a traveler
Eatin' up my travelin' time
