love in philadelphia


Lyrics

i found love in Philadelphia
just south of where the Market/Frankfurt runs
we moved west of where of where Schuylkill flo-oh-oh-ohwhoah-oh-ohwhoah-ows

where the trees they slant through Baltimore
and the leaves they shade the 34
and under feet the dead they play all day-ay-ay-aaay-ay-ayeah-ay

Song Writer Notes

I came up with the first line on an airplane from Tampa to Philadelphia. The US Air magazine had a big spread on Philadelphia, and a few paragraphs on West Philly.

I'm considering a short chorus and third verse. I think I'll write it, but maybe not record it. I like it when a song has extra verses that no one plays. I think complete song would go

i found love in Philadelphia
just south of where the Market/Frankfurt runs
we moved west of where of where Schuylkill flo-oh-oh-ohwhoah-oh-ohwhoah-ows

where the trees they sway on Baltimore
and the leaves they shade the 34
under feet the dead they play all day-ay-ay-aaay-ay-ayeah-ay 

i found love. i found lo-o-ove 

oh we haunt the porches near Clark Park
and we sing, but only after dark,
we dream someday we'll own a plot of land where we can play all day

i found love in Philadelphia
