Lyrics New York - Douglas Dare

New York

Was New York alight?
Did the building shine
In our eyes, or just mine?
Were we there any of the time?
Did we climb the Empire
Asking «Can we get higher?»
Or did the drink help me think
And build it all brick by brick?
How can I ever believe
After I’ve been deceived?
Open it all up to me
Will I ever trust another
Or is this for good?
Did we find the Guggenheim
And get in for a dime?
Or was it all on the walls of my mind
Like forgeries no artist will sign?
How can I ever believe
After I’ve been deceived?
Open it all up to me
Will I ever love another
Or is this for good?
Was New York alight?
Did the building shine
In our eyes, or just mine?
Were we there any of the time?
