Lyrics Streets Of New York - Cerys Matthews

Streets Of New York

Boy, you take me by surprise again
You take me by the hand and then
Lead me down the streets of new york
On a willful afternoon
When i thought love could choose
I heard your song playing on the radio
I’m somewhere i don’t want to be
The city’s moving over me
But i think i’m going to stay
Please dont be alarmed
I’m at the start of something
I walked up the grand to our hotel
And bought a round of perfect tens
And imagined you were there
And you, you became the man who explained
If this wasn’t love how could it have been anything else?
I’m somehwere I don’t want to be
The city’s moving over me
But I think I’m going to stay
Please don’t be alarmed
I’m at the start of something
I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
We stayed
And smoked another cigarette
And if smoke lingers I won’t forget
I try to say I’m sorry
An you, you’re with more than I could ever be
But I looked up and you had disappeared
And left ya crying to the rain
I’m somewhere I don’t want to be
The city’s moving over me
Yet I think I’m gong to stay
Please don’t be alone
I’m at the start of something
I want to ask you everything
