[00:00.00]New York City Girl - John Waite
[00:08.42]Written by:Raymond Kennedy/Glenn Burtnick
[00:16.85]There's diamonds in the avenue
[00:20.04]
[00:21.02]As the dayshift turns to night
[00:23.57]
[00:25.38]In the Empire dinner dreaming
[00:28.33]
[00:29.01]Hard rain fluorescent lights
[00:32.19]
[00:34.06]As the waitress fills my coffee cup
[00:37.13]
[00:38.08]And the working girls go by
[00:41.23]
[00:42.31]Drenched Irish Cops are dreaming sex
[00:45.85]
[00:46.41]And peep show alibis
[00:48.89]
[00:50.33]Everything underneath the skyline
[00:54.76]From the east side to the west
[00:57.89]
[00:58.80]I see the miracles in real time
[01:02.64]
[01:03.34]And there's one I've loved the best
[01:06.10]
[01:07.00]See there's an angel on the D train
[01:11.07]
[01:11.68]As she's flying to my world
[01:15.02]
[01:16.01]And I'm waiting for a New York City Girl
[01:21.14]
[01:25.34]Times Square looks like Avalon
[01:27.95]
[01:28.89]In a Disney morphine dream
[01:31.98]
[01:32.85]Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk
[01:36.96]
[01:37.52]At the counter next to me
[01:40.35]
[01:42.16]I wake up in the bed sometimes
[01:45.50]
[01:46.05]And watch her as she sleeps
[01:48.84]
[01:49.54]In the silence and the sirens
[01:53.50]
[01:54.30]I pray her soul to keep
[01:57.11]
[01:58.35]Everything underneath the skyline
[02:02.09]
[02:02.82]From the east side to the west
[02:05.67]
[02:06.43]I see the miracles in real time
[02:10.46]
[02:11.21]And there's one I've loved the best
[02:14.04]
[02:15.09]See there's an angel on the D train
[02:19.15]
[02:19.77]As she's flying to my world
[02:22.99]
[02:24.00]And I'm waiting for a New York City Girl
[02:29.08]
[02:50.19]The catherine wheel burns bright tonight
[02:52.97]
[02:54.57]Down on the avenue
[02:56.93]
[02:58.15]But nowhere near as bright my love
[03:01.46]
[03:02.06]As the fire that burns for you
[03:05.45]
[03:08.47]Everything underneath the skyline
[03:12.23]
[03:12.85]From the east side to the west
[03:15.89]
[03:16.63]Of the lives I've lived and those I've known
[03:20.92]
[03:21.43]There is one I've loved the best
[03:24.81]See there's an angel on the D train
[03:29.10]
[03:29.67]As she's flying to my world
[03:33.12]
[03:34.11]And I'm waiting for a New York City Girl
[03:39.55]
[03:42.11]And I'm waiting for a New York City Girl
