Ugly City Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

Oh, this ugly city, I can't even seem to see the stars up above 

Oh, this lonely city, where can I go but to the arms of the one I love 

She knows me, we've got so many things, I should be so thankful 

She's beautiful, and day by day it just grows and grows 

And like the ocean, it just rolls, while the ugly city grows 

But we're safe my love and me, 'cause our love is like the sea, oh 

I once saw a rainbow in Washington but only one, then day was done 

It lived for just a little while, then the city smiled and it died 

Someday, I'll leave this ugly city 

Up and pack my bags and catch me an eastern bound train 

Yes, I'm gonna leave this lonely city 

I'm leaving just as soon as I find my fortune and fame 

Oh, this ugly city, working a poor man to fill an early grave 

Wish it would rain
