Nyc Girl Lyrics - John Waite

There's diamonds in the avenue 

As the dayshift turns to night 

In the empire dinner dreaming 

Hard rain, fluorescent lights 

And the waitress fills my coffee cup 

As the working girls go by 

Drenched Irish cops are dreaming sex 

And peep show alibis 

Everything underneath the skyline 

From the east side to the west 

I see the miracles in real time 

And there's one I've loved the best 

I see there's an angel on the D train 

And she's flying to my world 

And I'm waiting for a, a New York City girl 

Times Square looks like Avalon 

In a Disney Morphine dream 

Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk 

At the counter next to me 

I wake up in her bed sometimes 

And watch her as she sleeps 

In the silence and the sirens 

I pray her soul to keep 

Everything underneath the skyline 

From the east side to the west 

I see the miracles in real time 

And there's one I've loved the best 

See there's an angel on the D train 

And she's flying to my world 

And I'm waiting for a New York City girl 

The Catherine wheel burns bright tonight 

Down on the avenue 

But nowhere near as bright, my love 

As the fire that burns for you 

Everything underneath the skyline 

From the east side to the west 

Of the lives I've lived and those I've known 

There is one I've loved the best 

See there's an angel on the D train 

And she's flying to my world 

And I'm waiting for a New York City girl 

Oh yeah, and I'm waiting for a New York City girl 

I'm waiting now 

New York City girl 

Oh yeah, I'm waiting for 

New York City girl 

Oh, yeah, yeah 

New York City girl
