David Austin - New York Lyrics

Some people like to spend their time
Chasing a memory
Often I will find
A familiar energy in
The people that I know
And the warmth they give me
And the stories that they hold
And the understanding

Well I heard you were living' in
Chelsea for the summer
Took a job with a company
Just like my brother
And I'm coming' up this week
And I'd love to hear from ya
Hit a cafe on the street
I'm sure there's much to rediscover

New York
The countryside lost its character, everybody
Is movin' away, or movin' up, but I know
Someday, I'll return to her

On a bench by the riverside
Just tryna take it in
And you bought this cheap red wine
And I'm down to swim in it
And if we get too drunk
Dontcha call up my friends
Well, I'm sure they'd pick us up
But I'd would rather walk it

New York
The countryside lost its character, everybody
Is movin' away, or movin' up, but I know
Someday, I'll return to her

When I'm lookin' back on life
Will the pictures run me by
The park enclosed by steel
And the people passin' by
Cuz everyday is one
Lifetime in itself
Since the heavens opened up
And down a city fell
