jerry dixon feat. idina menzel – a map of new york lyrics

think of each plaza, pier, and public park
how many sit there empty, lonely dark
think of before tomorrow sink (?)
think of how you and i can make our mark
you and i we can draw a brand new grid
everything that you dreamed of as a kid
give it a year and go with me
soon enough you’ll say look we two did
you always had the right dream
we’ve always made a tight team
now at last you’re back exactly where you oight to be
so lets make a map of new york
you and me
twenty-two reade, a building, sidewalk, shade
now a memory that for beth will never fade
i could be planning city sights
where memories just like this one might be made
thirty-three bond where i wrote my first book
greenwich and moore where i learned how to cook
the center street courts i interned there
the joy of this job is everywhere i look
that market was my first job
that diner was my worst job
and everywhere around me are these lives i left behind
the tunnel where i laid rail
the co-op where i made my first sale
they make a map of new york in my mind
put a sticker on the map where you landed that first day
put a pin on the bridge
on the train
on j.f.k
on the street where i swore i’d afford a place some day
ev’ry avenue and place,
ev’ry building, ev’ry face
of the lovers and the friends,
the beginnings and the ends
make a map of nyc,
where i’ve been and who i’ll be
and you’ll find me
and you’re feeling adrift, alone, apart
then suddenly life will somehow start
on your heart
on your heart
i’m too old for all that sh-t to be told i’m selling out
then again, all these years, did i lose what i’m about?
on the street, in the cold, it’s so hard to fight the doubt
then you hear the tunnel hum
with a rain about to come
and you surface to the street
and you fall into the beat
you can trace a line to me
on that map of nyc
right where i should be
think of how human life will ebb and flow
people, and how they’ll come and how they’ll go
remember the things we hoped and planned
remember them, and believe them, and you’ll know
we’ll know
we never walk a straight line
we never check a street sign
but it’s in the detour that we truly find our way
we always know the way home
as long as we can stay here we’re home
and we make a map of work
love and loss and life
and we make a map of play
we find our way
and we make a map of new york ev’ry day
ending the night at 23rd and third
liz and her date, who’s hanging on every word
