New York to L.A.
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.
You've ruined every city
From new york to la
Every street and every corner
Every highway
Not even the planes know
No new way to fly
Your words etched in smoke
All over the sky
I'm a fool
I'm a fool again
I'm a fool
A fool again
You'd think i'd have found a better man
But i'm a fool
Once again
From starlight to sunrise
Through snow and then spring
I've watched from my window
As you turned to leave
My eyes on your back
I review what you say
"give me up' you whisper
At the hotel cafe
I'm a fool
A fool again
I'm a fool
A fool again
Oh, you would think i would've had a better plan
But i'm a fool
Once again
Please let me learn my lesson this time
Or am i up for another round
It breaks my hear and i just can't let it go
There is gold(?) To be found
Oh you've ruine every city
From new york to right here
I'm adrift in a dream
Nothing is clear
But with love such as this
I have no need to wait
God be with me
And bring ???
If this is a mistake
Oh i'm a fool
I'm a fool
I'm a fool
