| [00:07.16] |
Sometimes when I'm driving late in the night |
| [00:10.18] |
When there's that special kind of early morning light |
| [00:14.05] |
When the evergreen stands out in the dark |
| [00:17.69] |
I'm thinking about that northern state of New York and New York |
| [00:28.42] |
New York state was good to me |
| [00:31.91] |
'Cause I found a wife and made a family |
| [00:35.37] |
If anyone asks what it means to me |
| [00:38.66] |
Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York |
| [00:45.92] |
New York |
| [00:49.57] |
New York city's just a part of the state |
| [00:52.71] |
Some people hate it, I think it's great |
| [00:56.35] |
It's an honest city, won't tell you a lie |
| [01:00.27] |
And take your money and look you straight in the eye, New York |
| [01:09.60] |
When the city got too much to take |
| [01:13.95] |
When the pressure built up and we thought we'd break |
| [01:17.89] |
When everyone else was a'heading south |
| [01:21.03] |
We went our own way and we a'headed north of New York |
| [01:31.96] |
New York state was good to me |
| [01:34.74] |
'Cause I found a wife and made a family |
| [01:38.18] |
If anyone asks what it means to me |
| [01:41.95] |
Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York |
| [01:48.50] |
New York |
| [01:52.80] |
Well I wish I could take that trip again |
| [01:56.46] |
Five hundred miles up to Lake Champlain |
| [01:59.72] |
Fishing for supper in a home made boat |
| [02:03.24] |
The love we made and the songs I wrote of New York |
| [02:13.49] |
And we rented a house on the Long Island sand |
| [02:17.22] |
Where work in the city was close at hand |
| [02:20.47] |
In the summer we swam in the Montauk Bay |
| [02:24.10] |
And England felt so far away from New York |
| [02:35.09] |
New York state was good to me |
| [02:37.77] |
'Cause I found a wife and made a family |
| [02:41.38] |
If anyone asks what it means to me |
| [02:44.73] |
Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York |
| [02:52.04] |
New York |
| [02:55.11] |
And it may sound strange that an Englishman |
| [02:59.30] |
Should lose his heart to a foreign land |
| [03:02.55] |
Maybe it's because I've a'been away |
| [03:05.96] |
Too long from her, it's hard to say, New York |
| [03:17.04] |
New York state was good to me |
| [03:19.77] |
'Cause I found a wife and made a family |
| [03:24.02] |
If anyone asks what it means to me |
| [03:26.63] |
Well it's the nearest to home I'll ever be in New York |
| [03:33.72] |
New York |
| [03:37.40] |
New York |
