I Wish I Was In New York Lyrics by Roman Candle

Says Pop

2002

I wish I was in New York this morning
Sitting all alone
The sun on Central Park in my eyes
And the pigeons on a savings and loan
I wish I was in New York this morning
Drinking from a paper cup
Robusta beans and fashion magazines
And people every time you look up
I’d go right out tonight
I’d probably take the bus
Right down to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral
And light a candle for us
Well I never thought we’d build our love of rags and bones and nails
I know sometimes my words come out like empty shotgun shells
But I shave my face step over the laundry in the stairs
It’s that time of year for watching comets in thе air
I wish I was in New York this morning
Sitting all by myself
In the land whеre father and son relations just deepen like a coastal shelf
I’d go right out tonight
I’d probably take the bus
Right down to Saint Patrick’s Cathedral
And light a candle for us
I know everybody’s looking for something
A piston’s holding out for a spark
But I’m not waiting on nothing
If I’m walking on the sidewalks after dark
I wish I was in New York this morning
Sitting all alone
The sun on Central Park in my eyes
The pigeons on a savings and loan
