lyrics

I never sought it
because I had it
crosstown light rising
that concrete habit
I never sought it
until I left it
and then I saw it
too late I saw it

you’re what we needed
what we believed in
you were the reason
the bigger meaning
we had our dreams and
we had our feelings
and we had you and
so we had freedom

oh spread my ashes in New York
out on the empty Hudson docks
where we used to walk
oh spread my ashes in New York
where the towers are no more
remember that fall

and I remember
when mine was failing
you were my home so
I didn't need it
and I remember
the friendless sidewalks
midnight and floodlit
I still recall it

oh spread my ashes in New York
chasing the light across the block
a real walker’s walk
oh spread my ashes in New York
the place that made my every thought
and I think a lot

you’re never stable
endless remaking
so we find comfort
in fluctuation
when I’m with you I’m
both past and present
my only nation
and I still feel it

oh spread my ashes in New York
drift through Washington Square Park
under the arch
oh spread my ashes in New York
midnight fries without a fork
on St. Mark’s

can you love places
like they’re a person
and when they alter
does your relation
I can remember
the way I loved it
at times I wonder
do I still feel it

oh spread my ashes in New York
not what it is but what it was
and what I was
oh spread my ashes in New York
remember the place before it’s gone
before I’m gone
