Leaving New York Lyrics

It's quiet now and what it brings Is everything Comes calling back, a brilliant night I'm still awake
I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there You don't need me to tell you now That nothing can compare
You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden a frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York never easy I saw the light fading out
Now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take But loneliness, it wears me out It lies in way
And all not lost, still in my eyes The shadow of necklace across your thigh I might have lived my life in a dream But I swear, this is real
Memory fuses and shatters like glass Mercurial future, forget the past It's you, it's what I feel
You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden a frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/leaving-new-york-lyrics-rem.html ]
It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York never easy I saw the light fading out
You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart You find it in your heart, change
I told you forever I love you forever I told you, I love you
I love you forever I told you forever I love you forever I told you, I love you I love you forever
You never, you never You told me forever
You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden the frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York never easy I saw the life fading out
Leaving New York never easy I saw the light fading out Leaving New York never easy I saw the life fading out
