lyrics

I've been waiting for your letter,
watching my breath on the window pane.
Are you staying warm?
Does the city look the same?
If you need more money,
just give me a ring.
The distance overwhelms everything,
turning my thoughts back to you.

Lately I've been wondering
when it's all going to break.
A cornucopia of catastrophe,
reality dripping on the steak.
Some say it's meaningless,
but their furrowed brows are fake.
The distance always makes my heart ache.
I miss you.

Greetings from Chicago.
Greetings from Chicago.
Greetings from Chicago.
Greetings from home.

Are your eyes okay
from staring at the light?
They're chiseled with hope,
unmoved by darkest night.
In the dream, I see you
through a burning haze.
The distance is only a maze
that brings me back to you.

Greetings from Chicago.
Greetings from Chicago.
Greetings from Chicago.
Greetings from home.
