Wesley StaceWe Will Always Have New York Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Walking down Fifth Avenue in 1988
A glimpse through the buildings of the Empire State
From a listed interior of uncertain date
To the wrong address, of course
And it's Union and Washington and Madison Square
It's a long way back, it's a short way there
We fell in love, I got scared
And you kissed me on West Fourth
And we will always have New York
[Verse 2]
Homeless in the library, washing in the stalls
Meet me at the Strand where hand in hand we will recall
All the books from many years ago that no one reads at all
You can steal but don't get caught
And the F train wait for the G train slow
And the C won't move till the A train goes
September ghosts, they never say hello
Oh, but now they want to talk
They will always have New York
[Verse 3]
Oh, your blazing lights and your flaming lips
And your full moon shining on my lunar eclipse
And the sound of vinyl when the needle skips
And the scratches on my back
A twice-told tale and an ice skating rink
Well, I couldn't keep my food down but I held my drink
And I might as well write in invisible ink
Rain on sidewalk chalk
We will always have New York
[Verse 4]
A Woody Allen movie played beneath the stars
To seven thousand people who laughed one laugh
Oh, I wasn't even there, but I got his autograph
Memories have walked
From the dead dog park where the sick dogs go
Nipping at your ankles from the undergrowth
Oh, thank you for inviting me, enjoy the show
It's my last resort
And your Pink Teacup and your Bottom Line
And Mercer Books on a glass of wine
My piano has a broken spine
And it needs your tuning fork
We will always have New York
[Verse 5]
I'm on one hell of an Acela ride on someone else's dime
One day, they'll put your picture in the New York Times
Now you call me Mr. Stace, but I'm running out of rhymes
I do what I ought
Now I live in a different town
I'll put on one hundred pounds
I won't write another song, I won't make another sound
No, I won't talk at all
Now you never write to me, oh, now you never call
I'm in Philadelphia, it's no distance at all
And you still hold the fort
And we will always have New York
We will always have New York
