City Days

Flew in that first day

Summer of ‘08

Ferried cross the way to beat the rush

Waved at Liberty

Docked in Battery

David welcomed me and sure enough

I knew I had to have you

You’re everything I’m missing

I’m ready to be living my

New York City days

I’m dancing with my shadow

Fountain penny wishing

I’m ready to be living my

New York City days

13 years from then

Running late again

Coffee with a friend, just killing time

Subway packed sardines

Bikers swim upstream

Shouting in the street

Everything is fine

I’m happy that I have you

There’s nothing that I’m missing

I’m lucky to be living my

New York City days

Boxing with my shadow

Fountain penny wishing

I’m lucky to be living my

New York City days

And the time goes by

How the time flies by

How the time flies by

I never thought I’d leave you

But there’s something that I’m missing

I gotta stop living my

New York City days

I didn’t see my shadow

And the fountain’s got a scaffold

I gotta stop living my

New York City Days
