the sun was high, we walked slow you like the heat, i like 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 stepped 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 this busy town years move on and i don't deny the choice i made or your reasons why but this cluttered heart is the tie that binds me to the broken new york skyline we might have had the right idea but it never got off the ground we were so close, we were there almost now I can barely hear the sound the sun is high, we walk slow you've gone ahead, i'm flying solo what i crave I would never show on your birthday one new york ago
