New York City - Punch Brothers

Snow falls on the Hudson

Souls are lost by the lonely dozen

She was here and then she wasn’t

Out there in the weather

Was it a frostbitten wind or a whisper?

I could swear I felt her

If I knew her face

If I knew her name

If I knew, would you?

How long can my heart live with the key

Kept away from its cage of locked ribs?

If it’s mine, why is it in prison

Out there in the weather?

Where it’s cold as it is bitter

It could die or it could find her

If you knew her face

If you knew her name

If you knew, would you?

New York City, would you give her to me?

I’d be yours forever, my old man says

«If you’re good the world gives you

The things you ask for»

New York, was I wrong when I built

My dreams on a little island?

Did I ever really want them?

Bridges in all directions, three in the morning

Can’t believe I never saw them

Maybe I should be going

If she knew my face

If she knew my name

If she knew, would you?

New York City, would you give her to me?

I’d be yours forever, you know what I’m after

Tell me how many times do I have to ask you?

I’d be yours forever
