new york city

You left me standing there

At the top of the stoop

Of a federal brown stone

You left me standing there

With my heart in my hands

At Hudson & Barrow

Oh, life didn't let me

Oh, pity

New York City

You left us standing there

In our favorite cafe

Mon Petit [?]

I saw the future landscape

Of different families

Divided in two states

Oh, life didn't let me

Oh, pity

New York City

All those dreams

On my sleeve

Star maker machinery looking down at me

Laughing at my idiocy

All those dreams

So naive

What am I gonna do now I've lost everything?

What am I gonna do now I've lost everything

In the same city

In the same city that made me?

I left you wiser there

With realizations

Of romance and sorrow

I sailed up North again

Back to my homeland

And left you forever

Oh, she loved you, didn't she?

Oh, pity

New York City
