NEW STRANGERS GARDENS


she calls me back to new york city
good old nyc
the best times I ever knew
in reality
now my life has become mostly
fantasy and memory
I thought I could take it with me
but there's no place with the energy
that flows in new york city
home town, nyc

she reminds me
of blues and jazz
sounds and colors
the city has
she returns me
to where I'm from
before I became
hard as a rock
blind deaf and dumb
once upon a time
I was not
comfortably numb

she calls me back with words so pretty
my old nyc
I lived on a block of strangers
like a family
funny, living on a block of concrete
I dreamed of the country
I thought I could take it with me
but there's no place with the energy
that flows in new york city
home town, nyc

left the golden spoon behind
broke my heart and lost my mind
the greener grass was not kind
lately more and more I find
what I left behind
ny state of mind
struggling to be free
the truth will set us free
you can take the child out of the city
but you can't take the city out of me

and she's calling me back again
like a long lost friend
good old nyc
I was never home
wherever I roamed
like I was in new york city
home town, nyc




NYC
