jakob sorensen new york city şarkı sözleri
When Tara headed east she left with few ideas
Of how to make her life feel whole
She hoped to join the theater company
And see her name on a marquee in bold
A wrinkled salmon envelope with pictures of home
To give her that good peace of mind
She took her collection of props from old films
I know she couldn't leave those behind"My father" she said"had his doubts in me
Well, me, I'm not one to listen
From a young age I dreamed of living on the east coast
That's why I never moved west
And Mother had warned of the dangers ahead
And she said the last time she phoned
'There's something wrong in New York City!
But there ain't nothing wrong here at all"
Now Tara is the one who is shining
The star of her own Broadway show
Sleeping in Queens just two blocks away
From the old Summerfield Street Row
She never let the apple win
She never ever turned home
She never gave herself away
She only cried alone"My mother" she swore"loved me tenderly
But me I never could listen
She always thought, well, this was many years ago
That I'd be some writer of fiction
And Father, he always wore a golden cross
And he'd clench it while he bawled
'Why God is my baby in New York City?
But I'm not here at all"
She never let the apple win
She never ever turned home
She never gave herself away
She only cried alone
