myth of new york

it's just a myth of a city

new york new york

living life by committee

new york new york

i spent a couple of years running around all over town

i was just a child then

i'm much older than that now

meet me in new york

when the world falls apart

meet me in times square

when there's nothing left there

i've been on the road

for several weeks of shows

i'd like to go back there

but is it gone now

who knows

there was a time when we dreamt wide awake

dreamt of crossing oceans

just crossing oceans for the sake

we were all living in timelines short and long

all life is for forgiving

it's the only way to get along

meet me in new york

when the world falls apart

meet me in times square

when there's nothing left there

oh i've been on the road

for several weeks of shows

i'd like to go back there

but are you gone now

who knows

i met a man who pulled me back to where i am

and now here i stand

now here i stand

on the myth of a man

on the myth of a land

what we we were loosing we didn't really understand

meet me in new york

when the world falls apart

meet me in times square

when there's nothing left there

oh i've been on the road

for several weeks of shows

i'd like to go back there

but is it gone now

who knows

i'd like to go back there

but is it gone now

who knows
