Lyrics

NYC

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

White house on the beach

My steps down to the sand

The plane takes off, and we

We are jet when it lags

Waiting in a room

Where the windows won't open

Got coffee with no mud

And their heart still ain't broken

Still ain't broken

Still ain't broken

And the music stops

And the beat goes on

And the music stops

But I'm dancing on

I won't be home until I've walked

Every street in New York

And I'll walk on without your love

Without your love

Dancing on til I'm alone

There's no need to return

Without your love, until I have walked

Every street in New York

Boat goes

From one island to the next

An old man drinking beer

Women on the bench

And the music stops

And the beat goes on

And the music stops

But I'm dancing on

I won't be home until I've walked

Every street in New York

And I'll walk on without your love

Without your love

Dancing on til I'm alone

There's no need to return

Without your love, until I have walked

Every street in New York

Glory when my plane takes off

Don't know me when I'm home

Say your prayers with your fingers crossed

Forget to call fore I go

If I had to phone tonight

To say I made you sad

And though I've fallen in your call and palm

I won't be home until I've walked

Every street in New York

And I'll walk on without your love

Without your love

Dancing on til I'm alone

There's no need to return

Without your love, until I have walked

Every street in New York
