I knew I was in trouble when the words "I would chase you to the ends of the earth" came out of my mouth, and I believed it. I got as far as NYC.
lyrics
Manhattan in the morning
I followed you to Bedford Ave.
I walked on the streets as you lay between your sheets
and waited for you to lift your sleeping head
last night's kiss
still lingers on my lips
and sits on the stoop of my mind
with what I'd hoped torn asunder it leaves me to wonder
is this what I came hoping to find?
yes it is.
I needed to sit with you, by the water's edge
look at that skyline, and hardly say a word
I needed to sit alone by the water's edge
lift my eyes to heaven, and finally come to terms
The Staten island ferry
rolling gently through the waves
I stood in front of the wind to protect you from it
like you stood to protect me from me
I can see
what I'd kept hidden from myself
though I've known it for a time to be true
you can do better than this, and I have to admit
that I pray a day is coming when I can do at least as good as you
I needed to sit with you, in times square's light
look at those lights, and hardly say a word
I needed to sit alone, in times square's light
set my face towards the present, and my feet on the earth
oh, you know I think you hung the moon
oh, you know I didn't know what else to do
oh, we both know what we were hoping to find
but perhaps in the end you were never supposed to be mine
and that's fine.
Airports in the morning
but until then New York all afternoon
but it's you and me that make a place magic, you see
we make it what it's meant to be
