I came here, I waited
To see it, to say this
What started on Fourth Street is finished.
I came back to see it
Through new eyes and feel it
I waited all night
On boards by the waterside.
I had a dream you went to New York
You found new friends
You had new work
I wasn't there, but I came to visit
We sat on the bridge and talked of the difference.
We spoke of the long ago
Promised each other we'd never get old
But that was a whole life ago
And now I'm on my own.
I came here to see it
Through new eyes and feel it
I waited all night on boards by the waterside.
I had a dream you went to New York
You found new friends
You had new work
I wasn't there, but I came to visit
I slept on your floor, watched the wind in the curtains.
Maybe it's enough to know
I never walk alone
I get by on my own
I'll always be my only home.
I came here, I waited
To see you, to say this
What started on Fourth Street is finished.
To see it, to say this
What started on Fourth Street is finished.
Through new eyes and feel it
I waited all night
On boards by the waterside.
You found new friends
You had new work
I wasn't there, but I came to visit
We sat on the bridge and talked of the difference.
Promised each other we'd never get old
But that was a whole life ago
And now I'm on my own.
Through new eyes and feel it
I waited all night on boards by the waterside.
You found new friends
You had new work
I wasn't there, but I came to visit
I slept on your floor, watched the wind in the curtains.
I never walk alone
I get by on my own
I'll always be my only home.
To see you, to say this
What started on Fourth Street is finished.
