The Paper Raincoat - Brooklyn Blurs lyrics

rate me

I took the N Train in from the ocean

Up to 14th St. Union Square

I swam around with the bodies in motion

Drank in the people, then came up for air

And I am a breeze in the still August air

And I can't believe that I'm still standing here

I am a ghost to everyone I know

A star stands still above while Brooklyn blurs below

Between mistakes and new beginnings

This city swells up like a symphony

I disappear in those bodies of motion

And a comforting wave washes over me

I am a breeze in the still August air

And I can't believe that I'm still standing here

I am a ghost to everyone I know

A star stands still above while Brooklyn blurs below

Picture yourself riding under the freeway

It's 3 in the morning in the sodium sky

Don't be alarmed, it's only a feeling

No one can see us tonight

I am a breeze in the still August air

And I drop to my knees with all this beauty here

And I am a ghost to everyone I know

And it feels so free

But it's so cold

It's so cold

When Brooklyn blurs below
