paroles de chanson New York, New York - Live at Carnegie Hall, May 14. 2022 - Ryan Adams

Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July
I had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breaking like a robber who was makin' his way
To the cities of Mexico

Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold
But I've been broken up and busted up since

Your beloved won't play any games with you
Any more like they did before
The world won't wait, so I better shake
That thing right out the door
Hell, I still love you, New York

Well, I found myself a picture that would fit in the folds
Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good
Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you

And every day, the children, they were singing their tune
Is out on the streets, and you could hear from inside
I used to take the subway up to Houston and 3rd
I would wait for you, and I'd try to hide

Your beloved won't play any games with me
Any more like they did before
The world won't wait, so I better shake
That thing right out the door
Hell, I still love you, New York

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold
In a church on the upper west side
Babe, I stood there singing, I was holding your arm
You were holding my trust like a child

Well, I found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B
But I tried to keep the overhead low
Farewell to the city and the love of my life
Some left before we had to go

Your beloved won't play any games with you
Anymore, if you don't want 'em to
So we better shake that old thing right out the door
I'll always be thinkin' of you

I'll always love you though, New York
I'll always love you though, New York
I'll always love you though, New York
New York, New York
