Prague 02:44
lyrics

I didn't know what to expect As we made our way into town Remnants of a past regime And a recent freedom found A new made independence A curtain torn in two A people living their lives However they decide they want to Streets out of a fairytale With a fresh coat of paint We got silly on absinthe We sat and watched the rain We heard blues in a basement And met up with old friends For Prague she is a beauty And I can't wait to see her again Got up early to beat the crowds Like we always try to do Watched the city begin to stir Found a cafe just for two Saw Lennon's peaceful influence Walked the Charles at the break of day Met Czech man from Chicago Saw a naked woman walking down the lane Streets out of a fairytale With a fresh coat of paint We got silly on absinthe We sat and watched the rain We heard blues in a basement And met up with old friends For Prague she is a beauty And I can't wait to see her again For Prague she is a beauty And I can't wait to see her again

Rome 03:53

Feet are tired cobble stone The city floats into the window Sun is high stucco lit up Blue skies settle me as my mind goes Off through the allies Packed tight with bodies Shuffling to an eternal song Bright eyes look Up in wonder As a new memory is born It's funny how all things change And still forever stay the same It's ancient to a fault and it's bursting with an honest pride It fills up my heart, it's the city that changed my life I'd visit anytime but I'll never go alone I'll always have a friend in Rome Always have a friend Always have a friend Young and naive no chaperone Like I was living in a movie Spent a summer like it was my last And it sort of changed everything What was I missing Why wasn't I living My soul seemed to long for more I didn't know How far I could go Or what I could ask for I was lost but I was so alive And I've never really said goodbye It's ancient to a fault and it's bursting with an honest pride It fills up my heart, it's the city that changed my life I'd visit anytime but I'll never go alone I'll always have a friend in Rome Always have a friend Always have a friend When you walk under la luna Through the heart of Roma It's like love on an endless night The city draws you in With a magic you can't deny And stays until the day That you die It's ancient to a fault and it's bursting with an honest pride It fills up my heart, it's the city that changed my life I'd visit anytime but I don't think I'd go alone Yea I'll always have a friend in Rome

Let's get lost in this city Pretend it's ours for the night December's bleak And cold as you know So lets stay close In this city of lights Mm mm mm Mm mm mm Dancing down these dark allies Who knows what we will find To be wealthy and live on the river How is Paris so beautiful In this light Let's get lost in this city Let's get lost tonight Let's get lost in this city Let's get lost tonight Mm mm mm Mm mm mm We have hours til dawn As they say the night it is young Follow me in your high heel boots And I'll show you the city of love If we lose our way Maybe we could stay I'll sing to you in French Mon Cheri Quand j'apprends à parler français Mm mm mm Allons nous perds a Paris Allons nous perdon ce soir Allons nous perds a Paris Allons nous perdon ce soir Let's get lost in this city Allons nous perdon ce soir Mm mm mm Mm mm mm

London 04:02
lyrics

I got London on my mind It's calling my name I think it's time to go again Have a little holiday We met some friends at The Flying Horse They took a train from the airport Found a cozy little corner while we waited on them Walked around discovered Ronnie Scotts Heard some jazz and we liked it a lot An old couple talked to us about the president I got London on my mind It's calling my name I think it's time to go again Have a little holiday Red telephone booth sitting alone Take pictures of it with our phones Found the coolest pub underneath the Tower Bridge Dark dim alleys off the London streets The way the old and new seem to compete Like the fancy folk and magnificent misfits I got London on my mind It's calling my name I think it's time to go again Have a little holiday We climbed to the top of Saint Pauls Watched the setting sun slowly fall Felt invincible as we looked down on Cannon Street Scaffolding gone from the old clock tower Traffic doesn't wait for any special hour Found a pub where Charles Dickens used to drink I got London on my mind It's calling my name I think it's time to go again Have a little holiday I might be living in a day dream But as I look around thats okay with me If I'm asleep please don't ever wake me up I might be lost in a crowd holding your hand Singing a tune only we understand It took awhile but look where we are now I got London on my mind I can see the Thames From way up in the sky Looks like we'll be there soon I got London on my mind It's calling my name I think it's time to go again Have a little holiday London on my mind London on my mind

Amsterdam 03:36

Cold is the air Your breath slowly drifts in waves Coats buttoned tight We stroll under skies of grey The water softly clutching The narrow towering homes Your hand inside my pocket Past bicycles and boats Amsterdam We're floating side by side Amsterdam What lovely state of mind It feels right here next to you As we fake our way right through The freedom and the folly of Amsterdam I followed you To the hotel window Pulled you in tight Watched the night down below They're walking on water A rose colored glow It flickers with the street lights As they live a life untold Just know that I'm right here if you get cold cold Amsterdam We're floating side by side Amsterdam What lovely state of mind It feels right here next to you As we fake our way right through The freedom and the folly of Amsterdam Just know that I'm right here if you get cold Doesn't matter where it is I will be close No matter where we find ourselves I'm yours Just know that I'm right here if you get cold cold cold Amsterdam We're floating side by side Amsterdam What lovely state of mind It feels right here next to you As we fake our way right through The freedom and the folly of This city we know little of The beauty and the boldness of Amsterdam The beauty and the boldness of Amsterdam

Lisbon 04:24

If I could drop it all, run away with you I'd do it in a heartbeat Show me a sign, throw me a line And I'll chase you like a daydream Cause you've been running running running through my head Since I first saw you I see us walking down the alleyways in Lisbon You're hand in my hand Looking for a way to escape Find a little romance Together running running running through this town And there's nothing nothing nothing to be found Since I found you And this unassuming town invites us for a drink As we wander and we wonder down these twisted streets And it might all be in my head, this idea of you But let's hold onto each other just like lovers do See the locals blending right into the walls In the glow of the street lights It's so quiet all we hear are our footfalls Your presence has me tongue tied Cause we've been running running running out of time And I'm buzzing buzzing buzzing from your wine Now that I found you And this unassuming town invites us for a drink As we wander and we wonder down these twisted streets And it might all be in my head, this idea of you But let's hold onto each other just like lovers do Maybe we could stay Maybe we could hold on to this moment Maybe live this dream Maybe get forgotten here in Lisbon Forgotten here in Lisbon And this unassuming town invites us for a drink As we wander and we wonder down these twisted streets And it might all be in my head, this idea of you But let's hold onto each other just like lovers do And this unassuming town invites us for a drink As we wander and we wonder down these twisted streets And it might all be in my head, this idea of you But let's hold onto each other just like lovers do Just like lovers do

Alexandria 02:13
lyrics

I walk your brick laced sidewalks In the middle of the night alone Took in all your dim lit allies Til I called them my own The first time that I saw your streets Felt like I'd been before The place that some of my closest friends Still call their home Old Town will forever stay near and dear to me And even if we're gone a part of us will never leave It left a mark inside our hearts although our time was brief Old town will forever stay near and dear to me See the river at the break of day Before the city comes to life Hear the music drift on the night Humming it's lullaby Every place we find ourselves A piece gets left behind But when we leave the memories Are like souvenirs in my mind Old Town will forever stay near and dear to me And even if we're gone a part of us will never leave It left a mark inside our hearts although our time was brief Old town will forever stay near and dear to me
