New York City Lyrics & Tabs by Punch Brothers
New York City
guitar chords lyrics
Snow falls on the Hudson
Souls are lost by the lonely dozen
She was here and then she wasn't
Out there in the weather
Was it a frostbitten wind or a whisper?
I could swear I felt her
If I knew her face
If I knew her name
If I knew, would you?
How long can my heart live with the key
Kept away from its cage of locked ribs?
If it's mine, why is it in prison
Out there in the weather?
Where it's cold as it is bitter
It could die or it could find her
Out there in the weather?
Where it's cold as it is bitter
It could die or it could find her
If you knew her face
If you knew her name
If you knew, would you?
New York City, would you give her to me?
I'd be yours forever, my old man says
"If you're good the world gives you
The things you ask for"
New York, was I wrong when I built
My dreams on a little island?
Did I ever really want them?
Bridges in all directions, three in the morning
Can't believe I never saw them
Maybe I should be going
If she knew my face
If she knew my name
If she knew, would you?
New York City, would you give her to me?
I'd be yours forever, you know what I'm after
Tell me how many times do I have to ask you?
I'd be yours forever
