[Verse 1]

Oh, it's been years since I've been lost in you

Unearthing memories each avenue

You're my oldest friend

Please come back again

I looked for you within the neon blur

I listened for you in each soft whisper

Hoping it would end

And you'd be back again

But you're not back again

[Chorus]

I know this city as I know a lover

Who has stolen the covers and

Rolled away from me

His scent, it lingers just beyond my fingers

He's worlds away when he is

Lying next to me

[Post Chorus]

(Little Edie)

I don't know, I don't know

Better check on mother and the cats

Depressing, you know, when winter sets in here

You know, cause I don't like the country

And I don't want to be here

I hate to spend the winter here though

Oh god, another winter

[Verse 2]

Now every streetlight glows a softer hue

Every party's end feels overdue

And as if on cue I sit and think of you

I know there's nothing really in a name

Know that sorrow's springs will feel the same

Guess I can't explain the memory away

[Chorus]

I know this city as I know a lover

Who has stolen the covers and

Rolled away from me

His scent, it lingers just beyond my fingers

He's worlds away when he is

Lying next to me

[Outro]

(Big Edie)

Yeah, everything's good that you didn't do

At the time you didn't want it

(Little Edie)

I couldn't get away

(Big Edie)

Well you - that's a choice

You can't go back and say-

Feel gorgeous right now-

(Little Edie)

I couldn't leave

(Big Edie)

And say, oh why didn't I do this?

(Little Edie)

I couldn't leave

(Big Edie)

Because you didn't feel then the way you do now

Everybody thinks and feel differently as the years go by, don't they?

(Little Edie)

Yeah...

(Big Edie)

Yeah

What time is it, chicken?
