Streets Of New York

oh boy
you take me by suprise again
take me by the hand and then
lead me down the streets of new york
on a wilful afternoon when i thought love could choose
i heard your song playing on the radio

i'm somewhere i don't want to be
the city's moving over me
but i think i'm going to stay
please don't be alarmed
i'm at the start of something

i walked up the grand to our hotel
and bought a round of perfect tens
and imagined you were there
and you, you became a man
who explained - if this wasn't love
how could it have been anything else

i'm somewhere i don't want to be
the city's moving over me
but i think i'm going to stay
please don't be alarmed
i'm at the start of something

i want to ask you everything
i want to ask you everything

we stayed and smoked another cigarette
now if smoke lingers i won't forget
and i tried to say i'm sorry
that you you're worth more than i could ever be
but i looked up and you had disappeared
and left you crying to the rain

i'm somewhere i don't want to be
the city's moving over me
but i think i'm going to stay
please don't be alarmed
i'm at the start of something
