City Dreamer  
-------------------  
Promise me,  
    We'll see the sea?  
A girl like you deserves the sea,  
Be led by hand to walk the beach,   
Dance for the surf,
     Sing with the breeze.  
It's been too long since I saw the sea.  
 
Promise me,  
    We'll know the trees?  
A girl like you deserves the trees,  
Be led by hand to tread the leaves,  
Sing for the birds,  
    Dance with the bees.  
It's been so long since I knew the trees.  
  
For I promise you, I know the sea,  
    Her beaches, surf and every breeze.
She'll let us dance  
    And sing
        And see  
The trees,  
    Birds, bees and fallen leaves;
She'll let us sing  
    And dance  
        And be  
The couple on the cliff,  
    In the cabin by the sea.
