Oh here I am after all these years In a little hole in New York City It's a little room up there To cover me up by this snow as it falls outside Out to all sweets of the pavement city Will I ever feel the cold miles and miles away from home I hope to get to sleep, stayed up through the night After seeing half of the broadway movie I got up there everyday, a toke of cocaine And haven't found a snow on Forty Second street See the hough pretending how they want you Still I never paid for it miles and miles away from home Chorus: Yes it was real, I love New York Yes it was real, I love New York Yes it was, it was a real and a lie Could it ever break you Could it ever make you in New York What's the time, as I think of her Does it make a difference on the other side She may well be sleeping now So cover me up with the dreams we share If we could sleep tonight In this heated carpet magic city Could she ever hear me now, calling out Chorus. Away from home
