They only play this song
When December rolls around
And I sing to every word we (?) along
Though I've not seen New York City
After all this time I've found
It never fails to start reminding me of home
So put the sun behind that skyline
And throw me on the train
And I'll pretend that all the strangers in this car know me by name
Now don't worry about me adjusting to your plans
Cause I'm coming back to see you when I can
As I wonder through this city
It's so easy to forget
Even big words on the map can be so small
It's been so long since I've seen you
Since I've been to hug your neck
I often feel you won't remember me at all
If you see my mother tell her I love her
Put my picture on the shelf
You can both just rest assured that I can take care of myself
Found me what it means to me to be a man
Still I'm coming back to see you when I can
I never want to hurry
But if given half a chance
I brought myself up long enough to just stand still
But I'm afraid that you might miss me
If given fleeting glance
Now I'm so afraid you always will
Yes I'm so afraid you always will
As I pull out of the parking lot
This car is so damn cold
And I watch the city lights fade out of view
And the only thing that warns me under street light mary gold
Is this song that keeps reminding me of you
So keep your eyes under the red light
In the corner of the bar
And in that fleeting moment you'll find me and my guitar
This is not just what I do alone
This is who I am
And I'm coming back to see you when I can
This is what I do and this is who I am
And I'm coming back to see you when I can
When I can
When I can
