Souls of Manhattan

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a longing of sorts for the souls of Manhattan But I don't see what they all see See, I knew a good girl with the slightest of curls Who was bound for the land of the free [Verse 2] She left in the morn' from so empty a home With the hope that the city would fill And she made souvenirs from many notepads and tears Writing memoirs until it made sense [Chorus 1] But time, like a bandit, retreated too fast At the drop of her hat you go down, down, down Where the souls of Manhattan resound [Verse 3] When the sun does rise up o'er the silver horizon Would you let out a soft spoken prayer? 'Cause she's lower than Hell and she needs a good friend Who don't mind givin' up holidays [Chorus 2] 'Cause all of your heroes and fair-weather friends Watch as your dreams tumble down, down, down Where the souls of Manhattan resound [Bridge] Where will you go when your heart is covered in snow? Oh, and your friends leave you feeling alone? [Outro] There's a longing of sorts for the souls of Manhattan But I'm just beginning to see
