New York Sleeps Alone Lyrics

Never thought that it would be this way

I heard everyone say

Life here can a bit isolating

Guess I learned my lesson the hard way

It’s got me lonely in the worst way

Wandering the streets I try to shake this

Standing on the corner of Broadway and Walker

I look through the windows of high rise apartments

A wonderful warmth fills their room

And I wonder when I’ll feel it too

But for now

New York

Is so damn lonely in the wintertime

I’m sure

I couldn’t even fake a smile

For the city that never sleeps

Will sleep alone

Walking on my own the cold wind stings

Funny how a place can change

When you’re walking with another warm body

Maybe I’m just seasonally depressed

Or maybe I just need someone to make clouds out of our cold breath

Standing on the corner of Broadway and Walker

I look through the windows of high rise apartments

A wonderful warmth fills their room

And I wonder when I’ll feel it too

But for now

New York

Is so damn lonely in the wintertime

I’m sure

I couldn’t even fake a smile

For the city that never sleeps

Will sleep alone

Swear one day I’ll thaw out

(I'll thaw out)

It’s harder when you’re by yourself

But for now

New York

Is so damn lonely in the wintertime

I’m sure

I couldn’t even fake a smile

For the city that never sleeps

Will sleep alone

Will sleep alone

Will sleep alone

Will sleep alone
