In the night I heard calling
I felt your curse, but I know there is no sound
It woke me up when I was dreaming
And I cut the rope, but your ghost is still around
And who do you think you're saving?
I didn't ask you to play your hand
But on these roads I forget that I exist
And I can't live under your command
Ooh, sleepless nights
Leave me peace, bring me back to life
Ooh, New York days
I gave it all you took it all away
When I escape, you still haunt me
I kneel on down, but I can't seem to grieve
Still awake every hour
I have gone, but you never seem to leave
You still might be my favourite
But I can't tell what that's supposed to mean
Take me home to some kind stranger
Lie me down, return me to that dream
Ooh, sleepless nights
Leave me peace, bring me back to life
Ooh, New York days
I gave it all you took it all away
Ohhhh ooo ohhhh ooo
Ohhhh ooo ohhhh ooo
Ohhhh ooo ohhhh ooo
Ohhhh ooo ohhhh ooo
