Lights of New York City

Losing ourselves in the East side cliff

Caramel sunset nothing to care

Falling into fairground, sugar on the air

Even now, I can see you there

Always there

The lights of New York City

Drowning in the Hudson where they belong

We didn't know we were living

You can hear us if you listen

And oh, it's such a pity

We can't meet again when we were young

It's right there in your hand, and then it's gone

I wanna run those hotel corridors again

That spill out to a skyline, bloated by the rain

A cold night air meets steam from a train

Hear them gone, just a subway train

Speaking your name

The lights of New York City

Drowning in the Hudson where they belong

We didn't know we were living

You can hear us if you listen

And oh, it's such a pity

We can't meet again when we were young

It's right there in your hand, then it's gone

Oh, the lights of New York City

Drowning in the Hudson where they belong

We didn't know we were living

We didn't know we were living

The lights of New York City

Broken up and drift into the dawn

We didn't know we were living

You can hear us if you listen

And oh, it's such a pity

We can't meet again when we were young

It's right there in your hand
