Lyrics

Bell on the handlebar, ring ring ring
Down the hill the whole city starts to sing
Bakery windows and the morning steam
I'm riding through the middle of a dream

No map, no plan, just wheels and sky
Let the new streets wave as I go by

Freewheeling down Harbour Street
Wind in my hair and music in my feet
Every corner is a brand new chorus
Every bridge is opening before us
I don't know where I'll land, but oh
Freewheeling down Harbour Street, here I go

Past the fish stalls and the clock tower's chime
Someone waves, and I wave back in time
Cobblestones are rattling out a beat
The whole wide town is dancing at my feet

No map, no plan, just wheels and sky
Let the new streets wave as I go by

Freewheeling down Harbour Street
Wind in my hair and music in my feet
Every corner is a brand new chorus
Every bridge is opening before us
I don't know where I'll land, but oh
Freewheeling down Harbour Street, here I go

Hands off the bars for a heartbeat or two
The world is wide and the world is new
Lean into the curve, let the old fear fall
I was always meant to ride this all

Freewheeling down Harbour Street
Wind in my hair and music in my feet
Every corner is a brand new chorus
Every bridge is opening before us
I don't know where I'll land, but oh
Freewheeling down Harbour Street, here I go
