New York

I came here, I waited

To see it, to say this

What started on fourth street

Is finished, 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 it

To see you, to say this

What started on fourth street

Is finished
