Ryan Harkrider - Manhattan Avenue lyrics

rate me

e beat the heat in a New York minute

On streets the meet like words on a headline on a front page

And the night gave us names like stars

But we just sat there laughing in the basement of an old apartment

Walking down from mountain tops, city lights that never stop shining, I can see for miles

You said there's something I just gotta try but we drug our heals when we said goodbye

And I know that I'll be seeing you on Manhattan Avenue

She wore a blue jean skirt and a wedding ring

And she drove like hell 'cause she was tired of being nowhere

And she locked her keys in her daddy's car

So, we got drunk while sitting on the front porch of someone else's home

But it's too early to be lost and too late to be forgotten

But when we stopped she took here heart and hung it from a building top

And swore she would never leave Manhattan Avenue

There are signs that point the right way

There are signs that point back home

But I can't see any of them

While I'm sitting here and waiting on Manhattan Avenue

A read a Rolling Stone in a laundry mat

And the pages turned when the cars drove past and the world spins around again

And we made our homes on these crowded streets

But I'm all alone and I'm missing you like flowers in a cemetery

People come and people go most of them will never know the difference between the two

But I ain't going anywhere so, I sat down and I wrote you this letter on Manhattan Avenue

There are signs that point the right way

And there are signs that point back home

But I can't see any of them

While I'm sitting here and waiting on Manhattan Avenue
