Lyrics

Maybe I'll see you again, baby, and maybe I won't
Maybe you bought your ticket, gone back to Detroit
Aeroplanes make strangers of us all
Give us distance, much too easily

Jim says, "Some destinies should not be delivered"
But you and I see now, baby, that still they are
Winning it makes losers of us all
'Cause the dice roll so indifferently

Well, I wrap myself in cities I travel
I wrap myself in dreams
I wrap myself in solitude
But I wish I could wrap myself
In thee

Tonight it's hot, without you, tomorrow'll be cold
Winter will come along, driven by snow
Love, it makes strangers of us all
When we fall, oh, so thoughtlessly

Well, I wrap myself in cities I travel
I wrap myself in dreams
I wrap myself in solitude
But I wish I could wrap myself
In thee

Once we breathed the breath of sweet surrender
Pure, pure Arab air filled our atmosphere
But pride, it makes stars of us all
Until we fall, for everyone to see

So, I wrap myself in cities I travel
I wrap myself in dreams
I wrap myself in strangers' arms
But I wish I could wrap myself
In thee

I wrap myself in cities I travel
I wrap myself in dreams
I wrap myself in solitude
But I wish I could wrap myself
In thee
