It's just a myth of a city New York New York Living life by committee New York New York I spent a couple of years running around all over town I was just a child then I'm much older than that now Meet me in New York When the world falls apart Meet me in Times Square When there's nothing left there I've been on the road For several weeks of shows I'd like to go back there But is it gone now Who knows There was a time when we dreamt wide awake Dreamt of crossing oceans Just crossing oceans for the sake We were all living in timelines short and long All life is for forgiving It's the only way to get along Meet me in New York When the world falls apart Meet me in Times Square When there's nothing left there Oh I've been on the road For several weeks of shows I'd like to go back there But are you gone now Who knows I met a man who pulled me back to where I am And now here I stand Now here I stand On the myth of a man On the myth of a land What we we were loosing we didn't really understand Meet me in New York When the world falls apart Meet me in Times Square When there's nothing left there Oh I've been on the road For several weeks of shows I'd like to go back there
