Two Cities

[Intro] (Два города... two cities...) [Verse 1] The board clicked over, one word changed, A city I'd only read in files. Lena laughed and pressed the chalk in my hand, "Leave a mark," she said, and smiled. [Pre-Chorus] Москва внизу, огни в окне, Moscow fading under the wing. [Chorus] Two cities, one heart, два города, одна душа, Rain on the river, snow on the window. Two cities, one heart, and I don't have to choose, Здесь и там — I'm home in both. [Verse 2] A stamp, a smile, "Welcome to London," Like it was nothing, like it was small. A black cab, a red bus, a coat of my own, The first thing I bought for me at all. [Pre-Chorus] Телефон, монеты, дождь стучит, "Lena, it's raining" — she laughs down the line. [Chorus] Two cities, one heart, два города, одна душа, Rain on the river, snow on the window. Two cities, one heart, and I don't have to choose, Здесь и там — I'm home in both. [Bridge] (Handclaps) No folders, no chalk lines, no grey hat in the rain, Just a walk by the water, Big Ben calling my name. Девять здесь, полночь там, Nine o'clock here, midnight there. [Final Chorus] Two cities, one heart, два города, одна душа, Rain on the river, snow on the window. Two cities, one heart, and I don't have to choose, Здесь и там — здесь и там — I'm home in both. [Outro] (Два города... two cities...) [End]
