13. New York City, I Ain't Afraid Of You (Bonus Track)
(Words & Music By Michael Wendroff)
Oh you're dirty and you're dangerous
And your kiss can be so cruel
Yet they're out there tryin' to make their
marks on your future.
And everywhere you look they're selling all the tools
And someday some one of them
just might get to break even.
Oh but New York City, I ain't afraid of you
New York City, I ain't afraid of you any more.
There's a young man out there somewhere
And he swears that this town is good
Sees a bright new dream in every old scene that he touches.
And some of me is out there with him
'Cause god knows I've been there before
When the night was a promise
and the streets went off into the distance.
Oh but New York City, I ain't afraid of you
New York City, I ain't afraid of you any more.
I was standin' alone on the corner
Watching the ambulances pass by
And the sun was a cold spirit poised
like a ghost on the river
There is something so ageless
and primal here it screams I just do refuse to die
Take your life into your own hands who knows you
might even get lucky.
Then like so many times I remember
the wind rose like hope in the street
Sweeping it clear of visions
we just never quite could get delivered.
New York City, I ain't afraid of you
New York City, I ain't afraid of you any more.
