Goodnight, New York New York

Goodnight, goodnight

I’ll see you all on the other side

After I am a different man with different eyes

Goodnight, you canyons of steel and light

Twist and turn where your alleyways hide

Swaying trains sheltering dreams and little white lies

Goodnight, goodnight

May you be always heartbreaking

Take a little more than you give

Yeah but when you give, oh my

Goodnight, goodnight

I walk away to remember who I am

Somewhere in the woodland

Somewhere in streams

Little life shuffles into the day

Folded wings into flattening veins and fluttering eyes

In the mess of all I have thrown away

Hungry now, I am gathering seeds to throw wide

Goodnight, goodnight

May you be always breathtaking

Cold winter, sink your teeth in me

Goodnight, goodnight

Even as it takes my place

In your life, at your side

I’ll say goodnight but it’s never goodbye

Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight

May you always start breaking my heart again

Good morning, lover

Give me your hand

Today begins and it’s all that we hav
