10,000 Midnights Lyrics
10,000 midnights ago
Uptown at the Harlem Apollo
You sang a long, long blues
I loved the way you worked your voodoo
10,000 midnights ago
I wound up my watch till the spring broke
My my, time is so unkind
She got punch-drunk in the moonshine
Old New York, tell me the truth
You know her better than I do
I know I'm not the one for you
I'm just another hand-me-down
10,000 midnights ago
I heard your voice, not your echo
Grand Central valentine
Tear my heart out on the main line
10,000 midnights ago
I lived just to die in your shadow
Black satin melody
That's what I heard when you left me
Old New York, tell me the truth
You know her better than I do
I know I'm not the one for you
I'm just another hand-me-down
10,000 midnights ago
I held myself back in the front row
You effect my memory
All consuming without mercy
10,000 midnights ago
Worn like a black and white photo
I stood behind the lens
Took your portrait, now I'm forgotten
Uptown at the Harlem Apollo
You sang a long, long blues
I loved the way you worked your voodoo
I wound up my watch till the spring broke
My my, time is so unkind
She got punch-drunk in the moonshine
You know her better than I do
I know I'm not the one for you
I'm just another hand-me-down
I heard your voice, not your echo
Grand Central valentine
Tear my heart out on the main line
I lived just to die in your shadow
Black satin melody
That's what I heard when you left me
You know her better than I do
I know I'm not the one for you
I'm just another hand-me-down
I held myself back in the front row
You effect my memory
All consuming without mercy
Worn like a black and white photo
I stood behind the lens
Took your portrait, now I'm forgotten

10,000 midnights translates to about 28ish years. Just in case anyone was wonderin and too lazy to bust out a calculator :p
it's "you infect* my memory" Nick wouldn't use such a simple word like effect..in which case it'd be affect :p
