R.e.m. - 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 try to take but loneliness it wears me out it lies in wait and all not lost still in my eye, the shadow of necklace across your thigh, I might've lived my life in a dream but I swear it. this is real. memory fuses and shatters like gla**, 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. 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 you never, you never you told me forever... 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 leaving new york, never easy. I saw the light fading out leaving new york, never easy. I saw the light fading out
