One New York Ago Lyrics

The sun was high and we walked slow

You liked the heat and I liked the shadow

I was brave, but you didn't know

On your birthday, one New York ago

All the lights, they never slept

All my love around you crept

Our hearts beat and our feet stamped

Through that Sunday in New York that I've kept

We might have had the right idea

But it never got off the ground

We were close, we were there almost

And we watched the sun go down

Over the din of that busy townRose Cousins - One New York Ago - http://motolyrics.com/rose-cousins/one-new-york-ago-lyrics.html

Years move on and I don't deny

The choice I made, your reasons why

And this cluttered heart is a tie that binds me

To the broken New York skyline

Yeah, we might have had the right idea

But it never got off the ground

We were so close, we were there almost

And now I can barely hear a sound

The sun is high, and we walk slow

You've gone ahead, and I'm flying solo

What I crave, I will never show

On your birthday, one New York ago
