Lower East Side Blues

This city’s heart has a beat
I’m buried underneath
Asphalt and stale nicotine
As words won’t come to me
I took my Lower East Side blues
And I watched them board the 5 with you
When you left rainy Manhattan
You knew this love was yours to lose

I’ve been up all night
I’ve got demons to fight
When everything I’ve ever known
Is starting to grow cold
I’ve been up all day
This love is fading away
Won’t you leave me like you found me
Won’t you let me fall back into place?

“I love the way you move"
She leans in to whisper
The whiskey takes her away
And I begin to miss you
I took my Lower East Side blues
And I watched them board the 5 with you
I’m stuck in rainy Manhattan
She’s got me tight and she won’t let me lose

I’ve been up all night
I’ve got demons to fight
When everything I know
Is is starting to grow cold
I’ve been up all night
You know damn well why
I’m lost on little west st. In a town that isn’t mine
But I’m where I need to be
So lost but feeling free
As the sun comes up I finally see
I should have never let you carry me

I’ve been up all night
I’ve got demons to fight
When everything I’ve ever known
Is starting to grow cold
I’ve been up all day
This love is fading away
Won’t you leave me like you found me
Won’t you let me fall back into place?
