Robert Obrien Poet Classicism

Leningrad

Leningrad...
   You are a city of Romance,
   a place to take a chance.
   Land of golden domes,
   far away from home.

   A city filled with fountains, 
   in a dream...
   beyond the mountains..
   Leningrad...

   We've come to see 
   your palace square,
   That's where 
   you'll find me there...

   In the city lights,
   stroll-in' through the night.
   A city to take chance in...
   let your heart begin to dance in...

   Leningrad...
   You cast a magic in your spell,
   and we'll remember well.
   When we fell in love...
   in Leningrad....

A song composed in Leningrad
May 18, 1988
