A city by the sea, they say it never sleeps
Once a part of me, now a distant memory
The sand between the feet, the moonlit walk
The waves rushing ashore,
The wind that never rests, the smell of salt
The hustle and the bustle, the unimaginable sounds
All consumed me, my soul and mind
In spite of the grit, the grime, the dirt
The spirit of the city calls
Like some restless void deep inside
The city which taught me all
The city which has my heart
