Well midnight has faded to morning
The city can't keep you with me
'Cause this is an island of vagabonds
A stop on the way to be free

But this is the wrong time for metaphors
You like my one-liners best
So take the Queensboro Bridge to the airport
I'll stay and settle for less

Well sweet baby Jesus is watching you
From his bed at the big corner church
And he knows the highs that you took me to
'Cause he knows the way that it hurts

But this is the wrong time for saying prayers
A kiss at the taxi will do
And if the Queensboro Bridge never gets you there
I'll be here waiting for you

You're a beautiful sight over east river lights
And I'm losing you
You're a dream taking flight in a pink morning sky
Yeah you're coming true

And this is the wrong time for saying prayers
A kiss at the taxi will do
But if the Queensboro Bridge never gets you there
I'll be here waiting for you

Yeah if the Queensboro Bridge never gets you there
I'll still be waiting for you
