Verse 1

Well, I wish I was in New York this morning

Sittin’ all alone

The sun on Central Park in my eyes

And, the pigeons on the Savings and Loan

Verse 2

Hey, I wish I was in New York this morning

Drinkin’ from a paper cup, yeah,

Robust of beans and fashion magazines

And, people everytime you look up

Chorus

I’d go right out tonight

I’d probably take the bus

Right down to St. Patrick’s Cathedral

Light a candle for us

Verse 3

Well, I never thought we build our love

With rags and bones and nails

I know sometimes my words come out

Like an empty shotgun shell

Chorus

But, I shaved my face

Stepped over the laundry in the stairs

It’s that time of year

For watching comets in the air

Verse 4

Hey, I wish I was in New York this morning

Sittin’ all by myself

In the land where father and son relations

Goes deeper than a coastal shelf

Chorus

I’d go right out tonight

I’d probably take the bus

Right down to St. Patrick’s Cathedral baby

Light a candle for us

Bridge

Now, I know everybody’s looking for something

Piston’s holdin’ out for a spark

Well, I’m not waitin’ on nothin’ if I’m out walking the

Sidewalks after

Dark, hey!

Harmonica solo

Chorus

But, I shaved my face

Stepped over the laundry in the stairs

It’s that time of year

For watching comets in the air

Verse 5

Well, I wish I was in New York this morning

Sittin’ all alone

The sun on Central Park in my eyes

And, the pigeons on the Savings and Loan
