Paint me, o paint me in Harlem and Brooklyn Under those city lights in halos of smoke Paint me, o paint me in Queens and Manhattan Walkin' so lowly, the moon risin' slow
Never felt better, never felt smaller Never felt so close or so far from home
Paint me, o paint me near the cathedral The one near 112th on the upper west side Paint me, paint me singin' in subways Beggin' for strangers to spare me a dime
Never felt braver, never felt dumber Never felt so in or so out of love
Paint me, o paint me next to my lover Paint us into forever 'til heaven comes down Paint me, o paint me with roses and candles Layin' so peaceful on this hallowed ground
Never felt richer, never felt poorer Never felt so close to hatred and love
And I'm always hungry but this city feeds me With all of its poetry, its people and soundsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
