When I was a young man long ago

I fell in love so hard you know



She was strong, she was pretty

Such a pity

New York City took my love away

Yes it did



Chances are we're better off you know

This guitar man's life goes on the show



She was strong, she was pretty

Such a pity



City junkies cannot taste the day

So the sunken people waste away



She was strong, she was pretty

Yes she was

New York City took my love away
