New Amsterdam
We were busy closin' down
The only open bar we found
The lights went off and they kicked us out
You kissed me on a corner in Chinatown
We got saved by a gypsy cab
And that bottle of Johnnie Red that you had
Your hair messed up and your shoes untied
I watched you sleepin' in the mornin' light
Now a different sun is sinkin' in the West
Now a different heart is beating in my chest
And I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
Down by the bridge on the lower East side
Watchin' as the river goes rollin' by
Did you lose me or did I lose you?
I suppose it all depends on your point of view
All these downtown streets still look the same
I guess it ain't the bricks and stones that change
And I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
Yeah, I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
The only open bar we found
The lights went off and they kicked us out
You kissed me on a corner in Chinatown
We got saved by a gypsy cab
And that bottle of Johnnie Red that you had
Your hair messed up and your shoes untied
I watched you sleepin' in the mornin' light
Now a different sun is sinkin' in the West
Now a different heart is beating in my chest
And I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
Down by the bridge on the lower East side
Watchin' as the river goes rollin' by
Did you lose me or did I lose you?
I suppose it all depends on your point of view
All these downtown streets still look the same
I guess it ain't the bricks and stones that change
And I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
Yeah, I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
