Souls of Manhattan Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There's a longing of sorts for the souls of Manhattan
But I don't see what they all see
See, I knew a good girl with the slightest of curls
Who was bound for the land of the free
[Intro]
[Verse 2]
She left in the morn' from so empty a home
With the hope that the city would fill
And she made souvenirs from many notepads and tears
Writing memoirs until it made sense
[Chorus 1]
But time, like a bandit, retreated too fast
At the drop of her hat you go down, down, down
Where the souls of Manhattan resound
[Intro]
[Verse 3]
When the sun does rise up o'er the silver horizon
Would you let out a soft spoken prayer?

'Cause she's lower than Hell and she needs a good friend
Who don't mind givin' up holidays
[Chorus 2]
'Cause all of your heroes and fair-weather friends
Watch as your dreams tumble down, down, down
Where the souls of Manhattan resound
[Bridge]
Where will you go when your heart is covered in snow?
Oh, and your friends leave you feeling alone?
[Verse 1 / Ending]
There's a longing of sorts for the souls of Manhattan
But I'm just beginning to see
