New York Is My Home (feat. Paul Simon)
The morning came today
With rain and sheets of gray
The subway rocked me out of bed
To take me on my way
Where I go, I go in style
Each and every mile
You know, I'm not alone
New York is my home
I got a girl up in the Bronx
She treats me like a king
I'll give her anything she wants
She is my everything
She can be hard as concrete
Soft as a summer breeze
We can wake the dawn
New York is my home
New York is calling me
It's on the phone
It's like the rooftop song
Up from the cobblestones
You will never hear me say
"The city street's too loud"
I hear a gospel hymn
In every passing crowd
It trails me and it tails me down
To Central Park
Even after dark
New York is my home
New York is calling me
And now I find
The city never sleeps
It's my state of mind
The breezes blow
And take me where the Hudson never flows
The harbor light shines on the piers
As all young lovers know
I can touch (can touch) the world
As it sails in from everywhere
I'm not alone
New York is my home
New York is calling me
And now I find
The city never sleeps
It's my state of mind
The breezes blow
And take me where the Hudson never flows
The harbor light shines on the piers (shines on the piers)
As all young lovers know
I can touch the world
As it sails in from everywhere
I'm not alone
New York is my home
I'm not alone
New York is my home
With rain and sheets of gray
The subway rocked me out of bed
To take me on my way
Where I go, I go in style
Each and every mile
You know, I'm not alone
New York is my home
I got a girl up in the Bronx
She treats me like a king
I'll give her anything she wants
She is my everything
She can be hard as concrete
Soft as a summer breeze
We can wake the dawn
New York is my home
New York is calling me
It's on the phone
It's like the rooftop song
Up from the cobblestones
You will never hear me say
"The city street's too loud"
I hear a gospel hymn
In every passing crowd
It trails me and it tails me down
To Central Park
Even after dark
New York is my home
New York is calling me
And now I find
The city never sleeps
It's my state of mind
The breezes blow
And take me where the Hudson never flows
The harbor light shines on the piers
As all young lovers know
I can touch (can touch) the world
As it sails in from everywhere
I'm not alone
New York is my home
New York is calling me
And now I find
The city never sleeps
It's my state of mind
The breezes blow
And take me where the Hudson never flows
The harbor light shines on the piers (shines on the piers)
As all young lovers know
I can touch the world
As it sails in from everywhere
I'm not alone
New York is my home
I'm not alone
New York is my home
