Streets of New York Songtext
von Cerys Matthews

Oh boy, you take me by surprise again
Take me by the hand and then
Lead me down the streets of New York

On a willful afternoon
When I thought love could choose
I heard your song playing on the radio

I′m somewhere I don't want to be
The city′s moving over me
But I think I'm going to stay
Please don't be alarmed
I′m at the start of something

I walked up the grand 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 else?


I'm somehwere I don′t want to be
City's moving over me
But I think I′m going to stay
Please don't be alarmed
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 if smoke lingers, I won't forget
I try to say I'm sorry

And you, you′re worth more than I could ever be
But I looked up and you had disappeared
And left you crying to the rain

I′m somewhere I don't want to be
The city′s moving over me
But I think I'm going to stay
Please don′t be alarmed
I'm at the start of something


I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
I want to ask you everything
