New York Boy

Sara Lov - New York

I came here, I waited

To see it, to say this

What started on Fourth Street is finished.

I came back to see it

Through new eyes and feel it

I waited all night

On boards by the waterside.

I had a dream you went to New York

You found new friends

You had new work

I wasn't there, but I came to visit

We sat on the bridge and talked of the difference.

We spoke of the long ago

Promised each other we'd never get old

But that was a whole life ago

And now I'm on my own.

I came here to see it

Through new eyes and feel it

I waited all night on boards by the waterside.

I had a dream you went to New York

You found new friends

You had new work

I wasn't there, but I came to visit

I slept on your floor, watched the wind in the curtains.

Maybe it's enough to know

I never walk alone

I get by on my own

I'll always be my only home.

I came here, I waited

To see you, to say this

What started on Fourth Street is finished.
