Goodnight New York

Goodnight, New York New York
 goodnight, goodnight
 I'll see you all on the other side
 after I am a different man with different eyes
 goodnight, you canyons of steel and light
 twist and turn where your alleyways hide
 swaying trains sheltering dreams and little white lies
 goodnight, goodnight
 may you be always heartbreaking
 take a little more than you give
 yeah but when you give, oh my
 goodnight, goodnight
 I walk away to remember who I am
 somewhere in the woodland
 somewhere in streams
 little life shuffles into the day
 folded wings into flattening veins and fluttering eyes
 somewhere my lifeline still hums and sings
 in the mess of all I have thrown away
 hungry now, I am gathering seeds to throw wide
 goodnight, goodnight
 may you be always breathtaking
 cold winter, sink your teeth in me
 June sun, beat me blind
 goodnight, goodnight
 I'm on my way to remembering who I am
 and in your way you remain
 you will claim all this space
 in my way I'll remain
 even as it takes my place
 in your life, at your side
 you were right
 I'll say goodnight but it's never goodbye
 goodnight, goodnight
 goodnight, goodnight
 goodnight, goodnight
 may you always start breaking my heart again
 good morning, lover
 give me your hand
 today begins and it's all that we have
