All the Way to New York City

I was thinking about how much I love quiet music.

Quiet shows, quiet audiences, that's where I feel it.

I was thinking about how some of the music I like can be talked over when played live.

This is for all those quiet performers.

It's also for all the people, places and moments I miss in New York City.

I wish I could take you with me
All the way to New York City
We could get an apartment there
Be closer to our families.

We could take my station wagon
And fill it to the brim
And wave goodbye to all our lovely friends
Never to return again

You could write for picture shows
And I could get a job waiting tables
At a restaurant where famous people like to go
We could buy old overcoats and walk through the snow
All the way around central park
Our cheeks as pink as wild roses

We could take the subway home
And stare at our reflection in the window panes of the train
And see how much New York has changed us.
