Blind Pilot - New York Lyrics

I hear the train all night
Sound of its wind blowing through our subtle lives
And I have a job to do walking these cars
Walking all asleep to get to you
But I don't feel your stir beside me
And your not in my morning hour

Some ties are made to break
Some stalks grow high and green to run away
And feel the wake

And these lines tell the truth
These city veins answer all you do
So could you keep me in the pulses
Could you keep me in the sound

I got wise and I got old
Not once, not once did I fall
So don't you know

Maybe you bet on me
While we were still young enough to know
Or to believe

For every year you took
For every soft breathe or loving look
Believe me

And don't keep me like you have me
And don't kiss me like you don't

I got wise and I got old
Not once, not once did I fall
So don't you now

Some land holds a home
Some of my years only hold me to Rome
But I tell myself its true
You see a home you see a man
You see it too

And I say don't you know you have her
Go on kiss her now you boy

I got wise and I got old
Not once, not once did I fall
So don't you now

I got wise and I got old
Not once, not once did I fall
So don't you now
