I've seen every corner of this town
I've left too many footprints in this ground
I can't wash off any of my mistakes
So drop me in the middle of the New York rain
Had a high school sweetheart at seventeen
She was beautiful but wasn't all that sweet
And if love is nothing more than a flame
Then drop me in the middle of the New York rain
Cause I've been dreaming of the worn down avenues
Somewhere no one ever stops to look at you
Where the skyscrapers cast their shadows
And streets don't know my name
Drop me in the middle of the New York rain
Where there won't be any stars to light the sky
My demons might have a place to hide
Cause the city don't know nothing of my shame
So drop me in the middle of the New York rain
Cause I've been dreaming of the worn down avenues
Somewhere no one ever stops to look at you
Where the skyscrapers cast their shadows
And streets don't know my name
Drop me in the middle of the New York rain
Late at night I'll be wandering the streets
I won't be the only restless soul that never sleeps
The tired faces will understand my pain
So drop me in the middle of the New York rain
