Love in philadelphia

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 the third verse would go:

we live in an apartment near Clark Park
where we sing, but never after dark,
and we dream someday we'll own a plot of land where we can play all day
