This song is a celebration of Russia's beautiful, magnificent city, "Saint Petersburg."
In Celebration of the amazingly beautiful & historic Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Midnight train leavin' St. Petersburg,
took me by suprize caught me without a word.
Touched by fountains gushin' through the air,
white knights dancin' in St. Isaac's Square.
Feelings cry out with deep regret,
like leavin' parents I never met.
Summer palace of the mighty czar,
glasses of vodka with our caviar.
Haunting spirits in the hermitage,
only give us clues to their heritage.
Crisscrossin' streets over wide canals,
watchin' Elena as she laughs an' smiles.
Fallin' through pages of history,
unspoken words filled with mystery.
Feelings cry out with deep regret,
Like leavin' parents I never met.
