Harlem
My city's had a lot of trouble sleepin'
she's up all night
breakin' through the windows and the ceilin's
scrapin' stars from the sky
and my city's made a habit out of cryin'
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 sleepin' for free
yeah, I love my city
my sleepless city
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
my city's pickin' fights across the water
with the worn out moon
and I watch her from honey colored corner
a quiet room
where I hung a little picture of my darlin'
black and white
but it's been fadin' on yellow wall in Harlem
since she left that night
but I love my city
my sleepless city
I'll do her sleepin' for free
yeah, I love my city
my sleepless city
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
Well, I love my city
my sleepless city
I'll do her sleepin' for free
yeah, I love my city
my sleepless city
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
she's up all night
breakin' through the windows and the ceilin's
scrapin' stars from the sky
and my city's made a habit out of cryin'
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 sleepin' for free
yeah, I love my city
my sleepless city
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
my city's pickin' fights across the water
with the worn out moon
and I watch her from honey colored corner
a quiet room
where I hung a little picture of my darlin'
black and white
but it's been fadin' on yellow wall in Harlem
since she left that night
but I love my city
my sleepless city
I'll do her sleepin' for free
yeah, I love my city
my sleepless city
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
Well, I love my city
my sleepless city
I'll do her sleepin' for free
yeah, I love my city
my sleepless city
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
