New York Summer

These cold days and trivial nights Creep in through your memory Singing songs on the sand and the water It's the perfect time to give it away You and I, thinking back to a New York summer You were mine, so young and undiscovered It's been so lonely by the phone in the wall Making no time for the friends at your door Take off a layer, uncover a stone Secrets of a universe and beautiful tones You and I, thinking back to a New York summer You were mine, so young and undiscovered I'll be waiting by the side of the road Counting on your weakness to remind me Who you are, who you'll be A treasure, a tragedy In the arms of someone else These cold days and trivial nights Quiet and hereditary Singing songs on the sand and the water It's the perfect time to be alive You and I, thinking back to a New York summer You were mine, so young and undiscovered
