Artist/Band: John Waite
Lyrics for Song: New York City Girl
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - John Waite



There's diamonds in the avenue


As the dayshift turns to night


In the Empire diner dreaming


Hard rain, fluorescent lights


As the waitress fills my coffee cup


And the working girls go by


Drenched Irish Cops are dreaming sex


And peep show alibis





Everything underneath the skyline


From the east side to the west


I see the miracles in real time


And there's one I've loved the best


See there's an angel on the D train


As she's flying to my world


And I'm waiting for a New York City girl





Times Square looks like Avalon


In a Disney morphine dream


Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk


At the counter next to me


I wake up in the bed sometimes


And watch her as she sleeps


In the silence and the sirens


I pray her soul to keep





The Catherine wheel burns bright tonight


Down on the avenue


But nowhere near as bright, my love


As the fire that burns for you





Everything underneath the skyline


From the east side to the west


Of the lives I've lived and those I've known


There is one I've loved the best





See there's an angel on the see train


As she's flying to my world


And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl


And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
