Vienna Teng, "City Hall"
(2006)

Me and my baby on a February holiday
'Cause we got the news
Yeah, we got the news
500 miles and we're gonna make it all the way
We've got nothing to lose
We've got nothing to lose

It's been ten years waiting
But it's better late than the never
We've been told before
We can't wait one minute more

Oh, me and my baby driving down
To a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
Oh, me and my baby stand in line
You've never seen a sight so fine
As the love that's gonna shine
At City Hall

Me and my baby've been through
A lot of good and bad
Learned to kiss the sky
Made our mommas cry
I've seen a lot of friends
After giving it all they had
Lay down and die
Lay down and die

Ten years into it
Here's our window
At the Vegas drive-thru chapel
It ain't too much
For 'em all to handle

Oh, me and my baby driving down
To a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
Oh, me and my baby stand in line
You've never seen a sight so fine
As the love that's gonna shine
At City Hall

Outside, they're handing out
Doughnuts and pizza pies
For the folks in pairs in the folding chairs
My baby's looking so damned pretty
With those anxious eyes
Rain-speckled hair
And my ring to wear

Ten years waiting for this moment of fate
When we say the words and sign our names
If they take it away again someday
This beautiful thing won't change

Oh, me and my baby driving down
To a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
Oh, me and my baby stand in line
You've never seen a sight so fine
As the love that's gonna shine

Oh, me and my baby driving down
To a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
Oh, me and my baby stand in line
You've never seen a sight so fine
As the love that's gonna shine
At City Hall


Aww, lady-love in San Francisco. (Really.)
