Gramercy Vaudeville Songtext / Lyric

I was circling Gramercy park

In a square of buildings and shadows

The flowers hanging off the windows

It occurred to me



There's a fence surrounding your heart

That a golden key wouldn't open

The lock on the gate's been broken

Many years it seems



I thought I had a hold on myself

But you came along

Then you had come and gone






It was not the touch of my hand

But the crushing weight of your finger

The chill of a long December

And a lie untold



Well I know where Lexington ends

But I won't waste my life walking circles

Your warm summer reds now purple

Like a dying rose



I thought i had a hold on myself

Then you came along

Yeah you had come and gone

You had come and gone



I was circling Gramercy park

In a square of buildings and shadows
