Songtekst
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.
