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 say this

what started on fourth street is finished
