City By The Lake

City By The Lake

Music and Lyrics: Gary J. Ehrlich (c) 4/97)

Inspired by the final approach to Toronto of my flight to FilkONtario 6 in 1996. Any similarities to "Face to Face" are purely coincidental


     C               G                 C     Am    Em7
As I journey far and wide, friends and music as my guide
          Am      Dm        Am      Dm     G
There's a place I love; for which I always yearn
        C               G             C         Am        Em7
She's a vibrant, lovely place full of charm and style and grace
       Am                 Dm     G      C
To her parks and shores I always will return

CHO          C           F             C              Am
     And the city by the lake glistens in the setting sun
             C            Dm                  G
     Red and gold blazing from her towers and domes
             C          F             C          Am
     Deep in my heart I know that wherever I may go
            C              Dm     G      C
     In her streets I will always find a home

In this world of pain and strife; all the pressures on my life
It is hard to find a shelter from the storm
But her culture and her folk wrap around me like a cloak
With her love and song she keeps me safe and warm
