New York

Was New York alight? Did the building shine In our eyes, or just mine? Were we there any of the time? Did we climb the Empire Asking "Can we get higher?" Or did the drink help me think And build it all brick by brick? How can I ever believe After I've been deceived? Open it all up to me Will I ever trust another Or is this for good? Did we find the Guggenheim And get in for a dime? Or was it all on the walls of my mind Like forgeries no artist will sign? How can I ever believe After I've been deceived? Open it all up to me Will I ever love another Or is this for good? Was New York alight? Did the building shine In our eyes, or just mine? Were we there any of the time?
