Ellis Island Lyrics - Big Head Todd And The Monsters

New York lady slips underneath the dim trumpet light 

Come from a land she's never known 

She sees in her future castles burning bright 

But she's got no place to go 

Oh and if you should ever speak with her 

And keep your promises to a whisper 

She is listening, she is listening 

She hears everything, she hears everything 

Into the air and disappears into the evening 

Forgotten in her lonely soul 

She wonders why everything ain't right 

For all the people down here below 

Hey, sister where's your life? 

Brother, where is your home? 

Oh and if you should ever speak with her 

Keep your promises to a whisper 

She is listening, she is listening 

She hears everything, she hears everything 

Into the air and disappears into the evening 

Forgotten in her lonely soul 

There's a whisper inside every broken heart 

A frail, frail dream 

Which runs through the traffic and plays a part 

Sweet love through eternity 

Oh and if you should ever speak with her 

Keep your promises to a whisper 

She is listening, she is listening 

She hears everything, she hears everything 

Into the air and disappears into the evening 

Forgotten in her lonely soul 

Into the evening 

Forgotten in her lonely soul
