Leaving Chicago (Original song with lyrics)

I wrote this song about someone leaving home as a young person hoping for the American dream. The years pass and it seems evident that it's not working out.

Lyrics :
Leaving Chicago
I miss the moorlands
Where the creeping willows grow
I miss the early morning dew
I miss the Skylarks singing as the day is dawning
But most of all I'm missing you`

The shores of Lake Michigan are lonely and cold
I was young I thought the streets were paved with gold.

I saw a big plane flying over Chicago
I knew it was time for me to go
I read your letter on a cold November morning
Now my heart's aching to go home.

Will the lamp still be burning in the window for me
Turn back the time to when we were young and free
The ghosts of yesterday keep calling me back home
So I'm leaving Chicago, I'm leaving Chicago, I'm leaving Chicago.

I'm on a big plane
I'm leaving Chicago
Darling I'm coming home
I'm leaving Chicago
I'm leaving Chicago
I'm leaving Chicago
