JD McPherson – UNDER THE SPELL OF CITY LIGHTS lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking up and down Columbus Avenue
Making friends with the ghosts I'm conjuring
I left town 'cause the floods [worn through?]
Around the alley ways I go wandering
One and only can you hear me
Staring at the ceiling in a [city club?] stairway
Like an angel flying over me
A one and only was the new thing happening

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I got my mind set on you
[?] [down to sunrise?]
But what am I coming to
Cast down to paradise

[Chorus]
Under the spell of city lights
Wrote you a funny Valentine
Let me know if I should send it
Take my broken heart and mend it
Under the spell of city lights

[Verse 2]
The memories keep me up at night
Passing notes to the engineer
Take a trip to the harbor lights
I think Tony left his heart down there

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Can't get my mind off of you
But [?] down to sunrise
But what am I coming to
Cast down to paradise

[Chorus]
Under the spell of city lights
Wrote you a funny Valentine
Let me know if I should send it
Take my broken heart and mend it
Under the spell of city lights

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I got my mind set on you
[?] [down to sunrise?]
But what am I coming to
Cast down to paradise

[Chorus]
Under the spell of city lights
Wrote you a funny Valentine
Let me know if I should send it
Take my broken heart and mend it
Under the spell of city lights
