We drained every dime
C Bm
In the lower East Side

And you failed to catch the train back to Queens

So you came to my room

We did some things that we knew not to do
C Bm D
In the glow of the nights golden hue
[Refrão]

You've got a tattered line of string
D
That you've tied 'round everything

That you want to call your own
D
But it never seems to hold

C Bm
That we would not ever speak

I felt something that could not exist"
C Bm D
And I confessed that I thought that I felt it too
