Queensboro Bridge Songtext / Lyric

Well, midnight has faded to morning

The city can't keep you with me

'Cause this is an island of vagabonds

A stop on the way to be free



But this is the wrong time for metaphors

You like my one liners best

So take the Queensborough to the airport

I'll stay and settle for less



Well, sweet, baby Jesus is watching you

From his bed at the big corner church

And he knows the highs that you took me to

'Cause he knows the way that it hurts






But this is the wrong time for saying prayers

A kiss at the taxi will do

And if the Queensboro never gets you there

I'll be here waiting for you



You're a beautiful sight over east river lights

And I'm losing you

You're a dream taking flight in a pink morning sky

Yeah, you're coming true



And this is the wrong time for saying prayers

A kiss at the taxi will do

But if the Queensboro never gets you there

I'll be here waiting for you



Yeah, if the Queensboro never gets you there

I'll still be waiting for you
