New York Lyrics - We Are The Tide - Blind Pilot

I hear the train all night 

Sound of its wind blowing through our subtle lives 

And I have a job to do walking these cars 

Walking all asleep to get to you 

But I don't feel your stir beside me 

And your not in my morning hour 

Some ties are made to break 

Some stalks grow high and green to run away 

And feel the wake 

And these lines tell the truth 

These city veins answer all you 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 fall 

So don't you know 

Maybe you bet on me 

While we were still young enough to know 

Or to believe 

For every year you took 

For every soft breathe or loving look 

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 fall 

So don't you now 

Some land holds a home 

Some of my years only hold me to Rome 

But I tell myself its 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 fall 

So don't you now 

I got wise and I got old 

Not once, not once did I fall 

So don't you now
