Leaving New York

It's quiet now

and what it brings

is everything.

Comes calling back

a brilliant night

I'm still awake.

I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there.

You don't need me to tell you now,

that nothing can compare.



You might have laughed if I told you,

you might have hidden the frown.

You might have succeeded in changing me,

i might have been turned around.

It's easier to leave than to be left behind,

leaving was never my proud.

Leaving New York never easy,

I saw the life fading out.



Now life is sweet

and what it brings

I tried to take.

But loneliness,

it wears me out,

it lies in wait.

All not lost still in my eye,

the shadow of necklace across your thigh,

i might have lived my life in a dream,

but i swear,

this is real.

Memory fuses and shatters like glass

mercurial future,

forget the past

but it's you,

it's what i feel.



You might have laughed if I told you

you might have hidden the frown.

You might have succeeded in changing me

i might have been turned around.

It's easier to leave than to be left behind,

leaving was never my proud.

Leaving New York never easy,

I saw the light fading out.



You find it in your heart,

it's pulling me apart.

You find it in your heart,

change--

I told you, forever,

(You find it in your heart)

i love you, forever.

(it's pulling me apart)

I told you , i love you,

(You find it in your heart)

i love you, forever.

(change)

I told you, forever,

(You find it in your heart)

i love you, forever.

(it's pulling me apart)

I told you, i love you,

(You find it in your heart)

i love you, forever.

(change)



You might have laughed if I told you

you might have hidden the frown.

You might have succeeded in changing me

I might have been turned around.

It's easier to leave than to be left behind,

leaving was never my proud.

Leaving New York never easy,

i saw the life fading out.

Leaving New York never easy,

i saw the light fading out.

Leaving New Nork never easy,

i saw the life fading out.
