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
