Oh to be in Berlin or Paris,
To be in a place of beauty,
To seek out my muse,
In more colourful hues,
To have the freedom to write my blues.
Oh to be in London or Madrid,
To be in a place of faces,
To study the mood,
To lay myself out ****,
To have the chance to change attitudes.
Oh to be in Florence or Moscow,
To be in a place of choices,
To find clarity,
Discover sanity,
Be surrounded by humanity.
