“You got me lying on the ground, but if you find me don’t mess me round.”
If by any chance someone has truly touched your heart,
all those who follow will only find uncertainty.
When you asked me about love, I saw the fate of humankind.
Accursed beings with a too short arm span and too lengthy desires,
here in New York.
When I asked you about love,
you gazed at the clear sky overhead… a delight to those who look on it
but which cannot be possessed,
here in New York.
If I could live in New York…
If I could live in New York with you
If only I could live in New York.
