Текст песни American City Suite

People going, coming

Traffic always humming

A sweet city song

Everyone your neighbor

Living at a flavor

With a sweet city song

There was a certain way

That the city sound

Made you glad you belonged

I remember now

That the rhythm somehow

Made me want to sing along

Do do do do, sweet city song

Do do do do, sweet city song

Oh, come on along

Boxes on a brick wall

Boys are playing stickball

The chicks are walking by

Something bout their sweaters

Made you play a little better

Or at least you'd try

Meanwhile on the corner

A group is singing

In three-part harmony

There was a time

When you couldn't find

A better place to be

Do do do do, sweet city song

Do do do do, sweet city song

Do do do do, sweet city song

Come on

Johnny, ride the pony

The Dodger's own sym-phoney

An egg cream at the

Corner candy store

Radio and dancing slow

Who could ask for more

Do do do do, sweet city song

Do do do do, sweet city song

Do do do do, sweet city song

Come on along

Hello, Jack, it's good to be back

I been away at school

Yeah, Ed, I heard what you said

You know that I'm no fool

I know that it's changing

I see that it's changed

I know that it's changing

I see that it's changed

But goodbye is too hard

For me to say

When I still believe

The good things

Outweigh the bad

I think of all the

Good times we had

Think of all the

Good times we had

A junkie steals, a mayor deals

Who knows what's coming next

Traffic jams and greedy hands

Did you read it in the text

Of the daily news

The subway blues

How does your garden grow

And the strikes and the likes

All lined up in a row

Something is wrong here

It doesn't belong here

People are locking themselves

Behind their own four walls

It falls from the skies here

But no one's surprised here

And maybe that's the

Saddest part of all

Jesus freaks

Mohammed speaks

The Lord is on their team

Tenements and midtown rents

Rich and poor live in between

Say a prayer and breathe the air

In the cold or heat

When evening falls, the city calls

But the lights only shine

On empty streetsCashman & West - American City Suite - http://ru.motolyrics.com/cashman-and-west/american-city-suite-lyrics.html

Something is wrong here

Doesn't belong here

People are locking themselves

Behind their own four walls

Falls from the skies here

No one's surprised here

Maybe that's the

Saddest part of all

Something is wrong here

Doesn't belong here

People are locking themselves

Behind their own four walls

Falls from the skies here

No one's surprised here

Maybe that's the

Saddest part of all

I think of her

I think of life's own music

At least that's the way

It used to be

I think of her and I

See the children laughing

But it's only on the streets

Of my memory

And I never felt so lonely

And so helpless

Wishing that I didn't

Know the truth

But they tell me

That a friend is dying

And there's nothing

In this world I can do

When she was good

It was, oh, so good

You were blessed

If she smiled on you

You could be king

If she believed your story

When it was over

If she laughed at you

Now I've never felt so lonely

And so helpless

I'm wishing that I

Didn't know the truth

They tell me

That a friend is dying

And there is nothing

In this world that I can do

The hands that used to

Reach out to everybody

Now they're lying by her side

And her eyes are closed

No one really knows

If she can make it through

Another night

Still most of what I love

Is locked inside her

Everything I thought

I'd ever need

My heart keeps crying

You've got to hold on

A little bit longer

But my head is sure

That it's time to leave

And I've never felt so lonely

And so helpless

I'm wishing that I

Didn't know the truth

And they tell me that

My friend is dying

And there's nothing

In this world that I can do

I've never felt so lonely

And so helpless

I'm wishing that I

Didn't know the truth

They tell me that

A friend, a friend is dying

Oh, New York City

Can you say it ain't true

Can you tell me now

Before I'm leaving you

I'd give anything I own

Just to believe in you again
