Long New York

Nights go again in my mind Will you hold my face in your eyes? Father's stark awareness of time Means this new age is not mine Can we hold on days at a time Old places safe in your eyes Remember, say that you're fine Eight-hundred-sixty days of our lives Eight-hundred-sixty days we're alike We were long New York boys and I Kept our love, small safe silver dimes Can we hold one age at a time Keep places awake in your mind Remember, say that you're fine Remember, say that you're We were 18, then 35 You were able then so was I Drove minutes in cold road light Till you'd found new love, so had I Can we hold one space at a time Old places safe in your mind Remember, stay you and I Remember, stay you and I I've got your records on in my head Each note reflects, my skull bends and bends Your melody was so like me then No competition for my close friend Can we hold one age at a time Keep places awake in your mind Remember, say that you're fine Remember, say that you're I know your face more than I know mine We're the same, but now who am I? We were long New York boys can time Hold our love, kept safe in one mind Please just hold my place, say your fine Keep these worn out moments of light Remember, stay you and I Remember, stay you and I Well, scars say this mind isn't gone yet And I won't give thought to what things we lack So give me light, give me your light Give me light, give me your light Give me light, give me your light Give me light If New York's long lost to a new page Then we can find boyhood in old age So give me light, give me your light Give me light, give me your light Give me light, give me your light Give me light But I still know each word, every look you gave How could I explain all of those days?
