Leaving New York

REM

It's quiet now
and what it brings

is everything
Comes calling back
a brilliant night

I'm still awake
I looked ahead
I'm sure I saw you there

You don't need me
to tell you now
that nothing can compare

You might have laughed
if I told you
you might have hidden the frown

You might have succeeded
in changing me
I might have been turned around

It's easier to leave
than to be left behind
leaving was never my proud

Leaving New York never easy
I saw the life fading out
Now life is sweet

and what it brings
I tried to take
The loneliness

it wears me out
it lies in way
And on our lost till in my eyes

a shadow
a necklace across your thigh
I might have lived my life

in a dream
but I swear
this is real

In my future some shadows like glass
but carry your future
forget the past

but it's you
it's what I feel
You might have laughed

if I told you
you might have hidden the frown
You might have succeeded

in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave

than to be left behind
leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy

I saw the light fading out
You find it in your heart
it's pulling me apart

You find it in your heart
change
I told you forever

I love you forever
I told you I love you
I love you forever

I told you forever
I love you forever
I told you I love you

I love you forever
You might have laughed
if I told you

you might have hidden the frown
You might have succeeded
in changing me

I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave
than to be left behind

leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the life fading out

Leaving New York never easy
I saw the light fading out
Leaving New York never easy

I saw the life fading out
