New York lyrics

New York, behind a thousand doors

New York, under transparent floors

You decide the time and lives

A thousand hopes of different sizes

Every feeling, every love

Every place where man must stay or go

New York, dark town without a sky

New York, too tired to feel the tyres

A million hands, a million feet

Walk the walls, warm the street

Sick old kings could never reign

While heroes sing to rise again

Through the night your shadows

Together watch the day

Invert the phases

That all faced the other way

You dream of lovers

And contacts underground

Must tell their neighbours

How the world is going around

New York, standing where stars have stood

New York, you're in my heart, my boots

Rolling you can only try

Easy ways to make the sky

Leave suspicion like a sigh

To the morning from a night that's over

New York, you're in my heart, my way

New York, forget it, now I'll stray

Every new occasion lost

Every new decision passed

Every feeling, every love

All the places I must stay or go

New York (×2)
