about

Recorded Jan/Feb 2014. I did guitar and keyboards. The chorus got cut improperly and I couldn't fix it.

lyrics

I took that train to the New York side.
Never though we'd meet on a Friday night.
The Hudson Bay never seem so wide,
like when I first looked into your eyes.

Those sarcastic remarks are what hooked me from the start.
And I asked you to dance
and you gave me a chance...

Look at the Crime Scene that we've created:
People didn't deserve for us to be reserved:
Talkin' bout all the things we hated.
(Like that moment you took off my shirt)

And you got so drunk...
and I got so high.
And we kissed for the first time.

And I held you close on the streets of Manhattan.
So we took the train uptown in the rain.
And we walked real slow.
And you told me "not to go."
So we shared that bed that could barely fit our heads.

As the trains passed by, we held each other all through the night.
When morning comes I will be right by your side.
So when go I'll be up here covered in snow.
If only you could stay and delay your flight.

So when you go I'll be covered up here in snow.
I promise to write if you promise to write.
