2nd For The 1st Time Lyrics - John Garrison

I stepped out the taxi cab on 2nd avenue for the 1st time 

I never even set eyes before. But I see my footprints all around here 

My guitar, borrowed suitcase, borrowed floor 

There's nothing more to say, I know I had to come 

And I'm a million miles away and I am all alone 

But it feels like I am home 

I walked around, went underground and I see how I could survive here 

I see a million hungry eyes that I recognise from mine here 

I was right, just my judgement that was wrong 

There's nothing more to say the moment has now gone 

And I'm a million miles away and I'm 5 hours behind 

But it feels like the right time 

I hear a distant call and I know that I have to leave here 

I pack up all my things, I say all my goodbyes, close the door here 

We were right, just bad timing I suppose 

There's nothing more to say, you know I got to go 

And I'm a million miles away and I left you there alone 

So I'll say goodbye, I'm going home
