Harlem Songtext
von The Stray Birds

My city′s had a lot of trouble sleeping
She's up all night
Breaking through the windows and the ceilings
Scraping stars from the sky
And my city′s made a habit out of crying
All through the night
They say she likes the harmony of sirens
And the time of the traffic light

But I love my city, my sleepless city
I'll do her sleeping for free
Yeah, I love my city, my sleepless city
Yeah, she can do my crying for me


My city's picking fights across the water
With the worn-out moon
And I watch her from my honey-colored corner
A quiet room
Where I hung a little picture of my darling
Black and white
But it′s been fading on a yellow wall in Harlem
Since she left that night

But I love my city, my sleepless city
I′ll do her sleeping for free
Yeah, I love my city, my sleepless city
Yeah, she can do my crying for me

Well, I love my city, my sleepless city
I'll do her sleeping for free
Yeah, I love my city, my sleepless city
Yeah, she can do my crying for me
Yeah, she can do my crying for me
Yeah, she can do my crying for me
