[Verse 1]
You nose the corner first
I know the route by heart
Past the baker’s paper bags
And the bus stop coughs to life
Your paws tap out the code
On the cracked-up park side path
We dodge a soccer ball
And a kid in a yellow cap
[Pre-Chorus]
Same bench, same pond
Same pigeons on parade
You glance up like you’re saying
Come on, let’s make our way
[Chorus]
City park, you and me
City park, you and me
Every day looks different
When you pull me through the trees
City park, you and me
City park, you and me
That’s my moving home
With your leash in my hand
[Verse 2]
The florist sprays the curb
A cyclist rings and glides
Old men trade slow weather
Near the chess tables outside
You stop to read the world
With your tail in perfect time
Sniffing every headline
Written low along the line
[Pre-Chorus]
Same fence, same shade
Same fountain on the breeze
You turn that grin my direction
Like you’ve got the plans for me
[Chorus]
City park, you and me
City park, you and me
Every day looks different
When you pull me through the trees
City park, you and me
City park, you and me
That’s my moving home
With your leash in my hand
[Bridge]
When my shoulders are heavy
You slow right down for me
One small lap around the pond
Turns a hard day into ease
You don’t need to say a thing
You just keep me in your wake
And somehow all that noise
Falls quiet at the gate
[Chorus]
City park, you and me
City park, you and me
Every day looks different
When you pull me through the trees
City park, you and me
City park, you and me
That’s my moving home
With your leash in my hand
[Outro]
One more loop
Then home
City park, you and me
