Twenty Third Street

This moonlight in New York

Will not go away

I sit in this hotel

And tonight I'm just too drunk to pray

She said that she'd always love me

But that she might not always stay

Have a seat

Have a seat

And we can look at the world through this window

On Twenty-Third Street

I came a long way to see her one more time

There was a subway to take me uptown

There was an address she gave me last Christmas

Where she said she could always be found

I listened as she said she loved me

I'll always remember that sound

Have a seat

Have a seat

And we can look at the world through this window

On Twenty-Third Street

If you look closely down to the sidewalk

You can see yourself as a ghost

We would walk 'round the block with no reason to talk

Back then we were younger than most

It's a love that you never will see

Hey, buddy, I don't mean to boast

Have a seat

Have a seat

And we can look at the world through this window

On Twenty-Third Street

Well, there's some folks bring love to a hotel

And some just bring their own quiet end

And my story's not one hard to tell

And I just wanna tell it again

She said that she'd always love me

All I need is to find her again

Have a seat

Have a seat

And we can look at the world through this window

On Twenty-Third Street
