I smile like Chicago
She laughs like the breeze
I try so hard to charm her

With minor mysteries
I collide with her softness
With the whispers and pleas

Echoes of her movements
Delicate obscenities


It's a one quarter rain dance
Half of it's prayer
It's a simplest romance

Rattles high in the air
She's the gentlest pretender
I'm a clown on a spree

Still it's sweet to remember
The way it might be
I smile like Chicago
