Streets Of New York - Cerys Matthews

Boy, you take me by surprise again

You take me by the hand and then

Lead me down the streets of new york

On a willful afternoon

When i thought love could choose

I heard your song playing on the radio

I’m somewhere i don’t want to be

The city’s moving over me

But i think i’m going to stay

Please dont be alarmed

I’m at the start of something

I walked up the grand to our hotel

And bought a round of perfect tens

And imagined you were there

And you, you became the man who explained

If this wasn’t love how could it have been anything else?

I’m somehwere I don’t want to be

The city’s moving over me

But I think I’m going to stay

Please don’t be alarmed

I’m at the start of something

I want to ask you everything

I want to ask you everything

We stayed

And smoked another cigarette

And if smoke lingers I won’t forget

I try to say I’m sorry

An you, you’re with more than I could ever be

But I looked up and you had disappeared

And left ya crying to the rain

I’m somewhere I don’t want to be

The city’s moving over me

Yet I think I’m gong to stay

Please don’t be alone

I’m at the start of something

I want to ask you everything
