New York

I came here, I waited
To see it, to say this
What started on fourth street is finished
Is finished
I came back to see it
Through new eyes
And feel it
I waited all night
On boards by the waterside
I had a dream you went to New York
You found new friends
You had new work
I wasn't there but I came to visit
We sat on the bridge and talked of the difference
We spoke of the long ago
Promised each other we'd never get old
But that was a whole life ago
And now I'm on my own
I came here, to see it
Through new eyes and feel it
I waited all night on boards by the waterside
I had a dream you went to New York
You found new friends
You had new work
I wasn't there but I came to visit
I slept on your floor watched the wind in the curtains
Maybe it's enough to know
I never walk alone
I get by on my own
I'll always be my only home
I came here, I waited to see it
To say this
What started on fourth street
Is finished
