Music/Lyrics/Vocals by Liam Herbert

lyrics

I packed my bags, and I got on a train
Rode it down to the New York Bay
Got off at Harlem, guitar in my hand
Took a subway to the promised lands

To New York I must go
From the place I used to know

The rest of my friends they got on a plane
To go get the rest of their lives ordained
I miss the places we used to go
With the streetlamp's light, and its orange glow

From New York I will come
To the place I started from

I've seen protests, but pretty things too
Seen people marching down fifth avenue
Seen people stand, watching others fall
Then stampeding through a shopping mall

From New York I will come
Like a bird from the rising sun
From New York will I be
To the place I long to see
