I took a ride down the
Hudson River Drive
Traffic was light for the first time
Broadway went dark
And nobody walked in Central Park
No Friday night heels on the floors of Penn station
The bars are all closed nothing worth celebrating
Never thought I'd see
The big apple shaken down to its core
Who do you call When the city that never sleeps
Won't wake up
This place is a ghost town
Just give it time And we'll be alright Just close your eyes This is a New York lullaby
I miss the Mets and smoking cheap cigarettes
And Drinking with strangers in Brooklyn
People watching all day
Even the rats on the subway
But, Someday real soon
They'll be crowded sidewalks And tourist, it looks like they couldn't be more lost
And, a corner bodega playing a Billy Joel song
Who do you call When the city that never sleeps
Won't wake up This place is a ghost town
Just give it time And we'll be alright
Just close your eyes This is a New York
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Lullaby
Who do you call
When the city that never sleeps
Won't wake up
This place is a ghost town
Just give it time And we'll be alright Just close your eyes
This is a New York lulllaby
Just close your eyes
This is a New York lullaby
