"City of Dreams" by Natasha Meadow

Beautiful performance of "City of Dreams" by Natasha Meadow (aka Nataliya Medvedovskaya) at her show at Cin-M-Art Space in New York City on April 8, 2011. Natasha explains that, "I wrote this song about St. Petersburg, where I was born and used to live. And this song is very special, because I really love my native city and miss it. Ok, it's called "City of Dreams:"

Deep within the soul
In its innermost hall
City of my dreams lies,
And it comes to life
When your dreams are rife
In the bedroom at night.
Whirling past my eyes
An abstract composition,
Good times and goodbyes
Floating by intuition,
by intuition,
by intuition...

City of my dreams,
Familiar faces, themes
Whose songs have now been sung.
Sketches of your form
With bright hues adorned
Where the soul feels at home.
Isle of childish wants,
Warm sunlight strokes your stone trails.
Dandelions flaunt,
Mother's old fairy tales,
Old fairy tales,
Old fairy tales...

CHORUS:

City,
The remarkable city,
City,
The remarkable city,
City,oh,yeah,
My remarkable city.

City of delight,
Sweet to taste, and sight
Spells shy kisses have cast.
An exchange of hearts
End to end they dart,
Frail threads linked to my past.
City of green grass,
Sunsets honey and warm,as
Melodies amass
In a harmonic ballad,
Harmonic ballad,
Harmonic ballad...

CHORUS:

City,
The remarkable city,
City,
The remarkable city,
City,oh,yeah,
My remarkable city.
Bright light in the night,
You are my guiding light,
Always point me,my star.
As you lead me through
Your fire burns so true,
Don't let me stray too far!
You lead me my dear
Into your secret caves,
From within I hear
Cries of seagulls on waves,
Seagulls on waves,
Seagulls on waves...
CHORUS
City,
City,the remarkable city,
City,oh,yeah,
My remarkable city.
