[Verse 1]
Only you can touch me with your dark eyes
With a look that burns like fire through the lonely night
Sometimes I run, but I can never hide
From the pieces of my heart that fall like rain from the sky

[Chorus]
When you hear the thunder
When you hear the sound of a mountain crashing down
It's just my heart in pieces
When I feel the hunger
When I'm reaching out with a hundred thousand hands
It's my heart in pieces

[Verse 2]
No one cuts through my soul like you can
I'm naked to the bone beside your empty hand
I see your face and I remember
I'm a prisoner of your fate
I'm a loser in the race

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I walk the fine line
Between fire and the ice
The memory lives on
There's always something to remind me
Every teardrop falling
When your voice keeps calling

[Chorus]

Chicago is a rock band hailing from the Illinois city of the same name. With its multitude of certified gold and platinum hits, the band has had enough longevity to last for over fifty years.

Chicago was formed on February 15, 1967, between keyboardist/singer Robert Lamm, trumpeter Lee Loughnane, saxophonist Walter Parazaider, drummer Danny Seraphine, guitarist Terry Kath, and trombonist James Pankow. The group called themselves “The Big Thing,” and played Top 40 hits in nightclubs in Chicago. In 1968, the band relocated to Los Angles, and changed their name to Chicago Transit Authority. They gained massive amounts of exposure to famous musicians of the time by regularly playing at the Whiskey A Go Go nightclub. In 1969, they released a self-titled album which peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The next year, the band shortened their name to “Chicago” to avoid a lawsuit from the actual company of the same name.

The band has released a plethora of albums, most of them titled Chicago enumerated with Roman numerals. The band changed its sound in the late 70s and 80s following the death of Terry Kath. Since then, the band has still carried on a legacy for the decades following, but has slowed the release of original music to a trickle.
