R.E.M. LEAVING NEW YORK Lyrics
It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything
Comes calling back a brilliant night I'm still awake
I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me to tell you now that nothing can compare
You might have laughed if I told you,
You might have hidden a frown.
You might have succeeded in changing me,
I might have been turned around.
It's easier to leave than to be left behind,
Leaving was never my proud.
Leaving New York, never easy,
I saw the light fading out.
Now life is sweet
And what it brings I tried to take,
But loneliness,
It wears me out, it lies in wait.
And I've lost still in my eyes the shadow of necklace across your thigh,
I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear this is real.
Memory fuses and shatters like glass, mercurial future, forget the past,
It's you, it's what I feel.
You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)
You might have hidden a frown (change)
You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around (change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud (change)
Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out.
You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart,
You find it in your heart, change...
I told you, forever, I love you, forever
I told you, I love you, I love you, forever
I told you, forever, you never, you never
You told me forever.
You might have laughed if I told you,
You might have hidden the frown.
You might have succeeded in changing me,
I might have been turned around.
It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud (change)
Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the life fading out (change)
Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out (change)
Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the life fading out (change)
