New York Lyrics & Chords By Blind Pilot

I hear the train all night, sound of its wind blowin' through
A subtle lapse...
And I have a job to do, walking these cars walking all to sleep
To get to you

But I don't feel you stir beside me
And you're not in my morning hours

Some ties are made to break; some stalks grow high and green to rot away
And feel the weight
And these lines tell the truth, these city veins answer all they 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 fold
So don't you now

Maybe you bet on me, while we were still young enough to know
to believe
But for every year you took, for every soft breath of love and learn,
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 fold
So don't you now

Some land holds a home; some of my years only hold... me to roam
But I tell myself it's 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 fold
So don't you now

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