The clock ticks, it ticks only
Clearly in my mind
Thinking back of New York City
In a cab crossing traffic lights
In a cab crossing
Love to see the buildings
Still it fades away
The trouble starts
Where the road begins
I thought that this was real
But it was all a dream
Want to go to New York City
And leave everything behind
I promise I will write you
When I settle down tonight
I'll pack my bags and
I will leave this town
As far as I can go, because since
Her loss I haven't been myself
I'm going all alone.
Oh, on my own
Love to see
All the big big buildings
As I walk through the park
Please let me start my life over
And let me forget it all
Want to go to New York City
And leave everything behind
I promise I will write you
When I settle down tonight
I'll pack my bags and
I will leave this town
As far as I can go, because since
Her loss I haven't been myself
I'm going all alone.
Oh, on my own
