letra de old manahattan - cut the kids in half

Loading...

here we are
staring at the sp-ce
where the frames will hold the pictures
we have yet to take

then in the evening
you’ll study your own eyes
you say you’re looking for the beauty
we all claim to have inside

is it your voice
that is calling from afar?
or is the noise i hear
nothing but the choir of the cars?

but i collapse onto the stained bed
we shared the night beforе
forced into the corner of thе plastic hardwood floor

i’ll dream of sheets of satin
and i’ll dream of old manhattan
where the poets wrote their stories in the rain

here now i see you waiting
for the words to find their pages
while our memories course endless through my veins
it was a week ago the soldiers started falling
a city turned to ashes on the air
and as i held you in my arms i thought only of tomorrow
how i was but a child running scared

a month ago you pulled me in your orbit
we were actors addicted to our lines
but the hint of repetition in our first kiss
told me you had played the part a hundred other times

later i will sink into this same chair
writing letters i will never read aloud
but knowing this will pass won’t make the hour vanish faster
the sight of you still pins me to the ground

and why would you scream another’s name?
you swear it’ll be the last time
last time you swore the same

then i’d forget for a moment
what i ever saw behind that flawless smile
maybe in another i’ll remember
for at least a little while
