new york city was too big for me
as I watched rose sleep out the balcony
I stared at her till 3 am
just to try and feel how I felt then.
my back against the marble wall
america burns in a bathroom stall
if an earth of rock is a grain of sand
how can those two eyes cast a dream so grand?
the Hudson was too high tonight
and I waded in with my own two eyes
she’s envelope and paper thin
I took a breath and I drowned again
a bible stare under folds of skin
helped these scarred lungs want to sing again
if all is lost and all is gone
will you lay with me on the sterling lawn?
oh you were signs I thought I'd missed
you were trees that don't exist
you asked me where we met I swore
I haven't seen you in this city before
underneath the sidewalk cracks
are growing fields we can't get back
but underneath your brave black eyes
there's nothing that you want to hide
