Billy Joel (NY Lullaby) Lyrics by Local Nomad

2021

[Verse 1]
I took a ride down the Hudson River Drive
Traffic was light for the first time
Broadway went dark and nobody walked in Central Park
No Friday night heels on the floors of Penn Station
The bars are all closed, nothin' worth celebratin'
Never thought I'd see the Big Apple shaken down to its core
[Chorus]
Where do you go when The City That Never Sleeps
Won't wake up? This place is a ghost town
Just give it time and we'll be alright
Just close your eyes, this is a New York lullaby
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I miss the Met and smoking cheap cigarettеs
Drinking with strangers in Brooklyn
People watching all day, еven the rats on the subway
Someday real soon, there'll be crowded sidewalks
And a tourist that looks like they couldn't be more lost
A corner bodega playing a Billy Joel song
[Chorus]
Where do you go when The City That Never Sleeps
Won't wake up? This place is a ghost town
Just give it time and we'll be alright
Just close your eyes, this is a New York lullaby
[Bridge]
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
[Chorus]
Where do you go when The City That Never Sleeps
Won't wake up? This place is a ghost town
Just give it time and we'll be alright
Just close your eyes, this is a New York lullaby
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Just close your eyes, this is a New York lullaby
