This song was Nilsson’s attempt to write a song for the movie “Midnight Cowboy”, but they ended up choosing Nilsson’s cover of “Everybody’s Talking” by Fred Neil.
[Verse]
I'll say goodbye to all my sorrow
And by tomorrow, I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein' my prayers goin' unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
[Chorus]
Well, here I am, Lord
Knockin' at your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be?
For the first time, I'll breathe free here
In New York City
[Verse]
Say goodbye to all my sorrow
And by tomorrow, I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
So tired of getting nowhere
And seein' my prayers goin' unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
[Chorus]
Well, here I am, Lord
Knockin' at your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be?
For the first time, I'll breathe free here
In New York City
