Time stains like red wine
Please pass on by
So I can be by your side
Oh, together we're the best of us
You, my New York love
Fight fire with fire
And rain down on me, rain down
You lift my love up higher
From the broken glass
to the clouds
You see through eyes that love like Salvador
Chains wrap round cold days
So heavy like hearts in pain
Sometimes I just can't think straight
Oh whenever I see stars above
I see you, my New York love
So I say
Fight fire with fire
And rain down on me, rain down
You lift my love up higher
From the broken glass
to the clouds
You see through eyes that love like Salvador
Over the city, over the river
Over the statue of a hero and this lover
Over the city, over the soldier,
over the crowd
where the people sing...
