Cerys Matthews Streets Of New York
Boy, you take me by surprise again
you take me by the hand and then
lead me down the streets of new york
on a whimful afternoon
when i thought love could choose
i hear this song playing on the radio
i'm somewhere i don't want to be
the city's moving over me
yet i think i'm going to stay
Please dont be alone
i'm at the start of something
i walk up the glen to our hotel
and bought a round of perfect tens
and imagined you were there
and you, you became the man who explained
if this wasn’t love how could it have been anything
less?
I’m somehwere I don’t want to be
The city’s moving over me
Yet I think I’m going to stay
Please don’t be alone
I’m at the start of something
I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
We stayed
and smoked another cigarette
And as smoking goes I wont forget
I tried to say I’m sorry
You, you’re with more than I could ever be
But I looked up and you had disappeared
And left ya crying to the rain
I’m somewhere I don’t want to be
The city’s moving over me
Yet I think I’m gong to stay
Please don’t be alone
I’m at the start of something
I want to ask you everything
