Ala Away Lyrics

It's dark as hell in the foyer

Soon the waters would come

Up stronger than a season

Or the crystals that spin

And the moon soaked his clothes

Tangled wet on the floor

And she thought of his blood

How cold it must sometimes flow

Those blue eyes dancing

Like a flame in a cave

She took the match from her pocket

And struck it again

But the storms that came, heavy

Struck the bars and the cove

And etched in the Navy Pier was

Chicago

He said, I've made a very bad mistake."

"One that this letter has brought home to me."

And then he suddenly remembered

His note on her door

"Meet me out by the lake at 11 o'clock."

So, we sailed off and on

Boats against the wind

Never to be see in this

Glass town again

Where she played on her radio

Songs from back home

"If you love me, then love me."

"Don't make me a coward with hope."

We'll always be there

Sweet girl

We'll always be there

He said, "I've made a very bad big mistake."

"One that would have left if this note could have reached you."

Tell me loud what you've promised

Of how it must be

She left him one last letter

She left it close to the leaves

And outside the wind roared

Into the West

And in the corner of her mouth

Something no one would get

And maybe someday

Maybe it was the best mistake

She says, "Something holds on."

He said, "That's in..."

"Chicago"

When she said,

"I've made the very best mistake."

"One that will cost me every day."

When she played on her radio

Songs from back home

"If you love me, then love me."

"Just stay in your quiet Chicago."
