Why'd you have to call at such a time?

Some would say coincidence or sign.

I haven't seen you since back home,

You left to see the world alone and,

You put my heart out on the line.

The distance grows,

From the night into the day.

Know your demons got the better of your love this way.

The distance grows,

From the night into the day.

Stop saying that we could've had it all,

We made choices when snow began to fall,

We both carved our names deep into the wall,

So we'll always be the lovers of New York.

Maybe I'll just turn up out the blue,

An older man with nothing left to lose.

'Cause even though we both move on,

It's no surprise to anyone,

I'll never find another you.

The distance grows,

From the night into the day.

Know your demons got the better of your love this way.

The distance grows,

And there's nowhere to escape.

Stop saying that we could've had it all,

We made choices when snow began to fall,

We both carved our names deep into the wall,

So we'll always be the lovers of New York.

We'll always be the lovers of New York.

Stop saying that we could've had it all,

Time changed us then snow began to fall.

We both carved our names deep into the wall,

So we'll always be the lovers of New York.

So we'll always be the lovers of New York.
