Janis Ian
Here In the City
[Verse 1]
You don't see many shadows here in the city
Only picturesque windows, all covered and dirty
Black and grey that once was new
Yesterday that once was you
No I can't find my shadow in the city

[Verse 2]
We got canyons of smoke and steel-blue horizons
Our castles explode as the city lays dying
History that once was new
Memories that once were true
No, I can't find my shadow in the city

[Bridge]
And oh, for the green, green hills of home
For the hills I used to roam
So many years ago
Oh, for the love that's now grown cold
For the love that's now grown old
As the hills I used to roam

[Verse 3]
You don't find many lovers here in the jungle
Only magazine covers designed for the humble
Cold caress that burns and slides
Emptiness that's hard to hide
Used to be I knew my mind
But I can't find my shadow in the city
