Lyrics

[Verse 1] At the corner of 53rd And the summer of '62 The first time I felt the tug Of what I call the thread of you [Verse 2] There at the Lever House Street map across our thighs Tracing the gateway Leaning in close I'm feeling your fingertip [Chorus] This time, this place This state of grace The promise of tomorrow Your thread runs through Park Avenue Street of dreams and sorrow [Verse 3] Seven years up the road And two blocks south On the run from a sudden rain With too much to talk about On our knees we choose To end in St. Bartholomew's [Chorus] This time, this place This fall from grace The promise of tomorrow Your thread runs through Park Avenue Street of dreams and sorrow [Bridge] This town is my every day But sometimes the grand design Marries a common road to an uncommon time [Verse 4] By the Waldorf Astoria At 49th and now Out of the uptown flood Your face appears somehow In a passing car Wearing a tiny scar [Chorus] This time, this place This state of grace The promise of tomorrow Your thread runs through Park Avenue Street of dreams and sorrow
