Streets Of New York Lyrics

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
