Lyrics When New York Had Her Heart Broke - John Hiatt

When New York Had Her Heart Broke

On that fiery day when the towers gave way
New York had her heart broke
New York had her heart broke
Many heroes died trying to save someone inside
When New York had her heart broke
New York had her heart broke
And I was there that day
And I don’t know what to say
'Cept New York had her heart broke
New York had her heart broke
And the day that felt dark, F-16's over Central Park
When New York had her heart broke
We were dazed out in the street
From the blood and dust and heat
When New York had her heart broke
New York had her heart broke
And the world changed that day
Forever some men say
When New York had her heart broke
In a million years she couldn’t cry more tears
New York had her heart broke
New York had her heart broke
Oh, but she will rise again
