23rd Street lyrics

[Verse 1]
This moonlight in New York
Will not go away
I sit in this hotel
Tonight I'm just too drunk to pray
She said that she'd always love me
That she might not always stay

[Chorus]
Have a seat
Have a seat
And we can look at the world through this window
On Twenty-Third Street

[Verse 2]
I came a long way to see her one more time
There was a subway to take me uptown
There was an address she gave me last Christmas
Where she said she could always be found
I listened as she said she loved me
I'll always remember that sound

[Chorus]
Have a seat
Have a seat
And we can look at the world through this window
On Twenty-Third Street
[Verse 3]
If you look closely down to the sidewalk
You can see yourself as a ghost
We would walk around the block with no reason to talk
Back then we were younger than most
It's a love that you never will see
Hey, buddy, I don't mean to boast

[Chorus]
Have a seat
Have a seat
And we can look at the world through this window
On Twenty-Third Street

[Verse 4]
There's some folks bring love to a hotel
And some just bring their own quiet end
And my story is not one hard to tell
And I just wanna tell it again
She said that she'd always love me
All I need is to find her again

[Chorus]
Have a seat
Have a seat
And we can look at the world through this window
On Twenty-Third Street
