Manhattan Lyrics

There's no future and no past

When the moment, comes at last

Tongue-tied and tortured by a yearning

To be free from what you asked

McKinney Lake will have its place

In my memory, when I'm gone

Manhattan dreams are awaiting

At the coming of the dawn

I've got to get myself

To Manhattan

Gotta find myself

Miles from here

Find I'm wasting time

On the simple things

Waiting to arrive

In Manhattan

And I know, it's not the expectation

And I know, I'm meant to just succumb

And I know, I'm not domesticated

But I'll keep marching to my own drum

Something old and something new

I will find in skies of blue

Silver ring remains a shimmer

Shining memories of me and you

But I must be moving on

A tumbleweed caught on the wind

Garden City in the rearview

And graduation up ahead

I've got to get myself

To Manhattan

Gotta find myself

Miles from here

Find I'm wasting time

On the simple things

Waiting to arrive

In Manhattan
