Blind Pilot - New York lyrics

rate me

I hear the train all night, sound of its wind blowing through

A subtle lapse… and I have a job to do

Walking these cars walking all to sleep, to get to you

But I don’t feel you stir beside me, and you’re not in my morning hours

Some ties are made to break; some stocks grow high and green to rot away and feel the weight

And these lines tell the truth, these city veins answer all they do

So, could you keep in the poses, could you keep me in the sound

I got wise and I got old

Not once, not once did I fold

So don’t you now

Maybe you bet on me, while we were still young enough to know, to believe

But for every year you took, for every soft breath of love and learn, believe me

And don’t keep me like you have me, and don’t kiss me like you don’t

I got wise and I got old

Not once, not once did I fold

So don’t you now

Some land holds a home; some of my years only hold, me to roam

But I tell myself its true, you see a home you see a man, you see it too

And I say don’t you know you have her? Go on kiss her now you boy

I got wise and I got old

Not once, not once did I fold

So don’t you now (2X)
