New York by Karin Ström published on 2012-10-18T18:17:01Z I walked through your front door having stopped hoping for handsome men doing me any good but in the back yard drinking canned PBR wearing pale denim blue there you stood we talked ourselves out of breath you quoted from love and death it got cold and we went to a bar it was divey and dead and I kissed you and said I just want to be where you are how I had complained that day walking up manhattan avenue thought it was too far away, only went because I’d promised to it was you it was me it was all we could be it was spring in new york all was new we both knew this was it this was what we had been waiting for and nothing had ever been as simple and hard to endure cause life was burning inside me like never before had our next date in a bar, it was café noir you remember my hat to this day then to Pravda where you had been working before where they filled us up with champagne and I lost all my fear when you played with my ear watching down by law at your place then I knew you were mine and I had to define falling in love once again the sun disappeared and my dress was too cold for going out to eat so I put on your jeans and a white polo shirt and we walked down the street it was you it was me it was all we could be it was spring in new york all was new we both knew this was it this was what we had been waiting for and nothing had ever been as simple and hard to endure cause life was burning inside me like never before sat on the bus all the way to Red Hook for an eternity and we had lunch at Hope and Anchor Diner on Van Brunt street we went to Dumbo and walked on cobble stones and under bridges, and all the while we were talking and talking, talking and talking it was you it was me it was all we could be it was spring in new york all was new we both knew this was it this was what we had been waiting for and nothing had ever been as simple and hard to endure cause life was burning inside me like never before Genre Singer/songwriter
