Okkervil River - Kansas City Lyrics

The river is deep and the river is wide,
and the girl that I love is on the other side.

"Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue."
She's walking down Ellum, turning down Main,

I want to move Kansas City, move Kansas City:
"I want, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue.

With her pair of old wings that opened just once,
she can walk on two feet now, she can go where she wants.
She can move to Kansas City, to move Kansas City:
"move pretty baby, where the sky is so blue.

And I'll tell you one thing, that you should never do - never let a woman
tell you she loves you.
She'll call you "baby,"
she'll look in your eye, then she'll get on that airplane
and wave "bye bye bye bye bye bye
bye bye, baby." And if I could
believe what I want to believe, I'd hold you all
close and take you with me,
all of you to Kansas City, where the sky is so
