Morning Touching Down In New York Lyrics - Singles - Lucas Carpenter

I am an intruder here 

I've always been with my red socks cap and a pen 

Jotting down answers 

A scribe stepping from a carriage car 

Luxurious faded jeans and a greyhound bus 

A weekend connoisseur 

She's always there to greet me 

As I hit the sidewalk 

Eyes sparking like a flintlock 

Aimed and ready to fire 

8 am the skyline backdrop reflected in a blur 

The pavement shimmers 

The great lakes of 32nd street 

And there's something about 

Morning touching down 

In New York 

Once again the evening retires 

And we lay fulfilled 

Daybreak pours through the windowsill 

And that's good enough for now 

At least that's what we tell ourselves 

In moments just like this 

Clinging to every kiss 

Comfort takes a bow 

Why don't we stop and find the perfect reason why we shouldn't let this deteriorate 

But I'm one battle too late 

So I drop my rifle and i retreat 

Wrapped in white towels she heads for a solo shower as I stare out over the great lakes of 32nd street 

And there's something about 

Morning touching down 

In New York 

New York 

Maybe on a return trip or something 

It'll look a bit different to my eyes 

No longer in the foreground 

She'll be blending in with all the other passers by that i will meet 

I'll meet on the shores of 32nd street 

Take a pin drop cab right downtown 

Early Sunday morning 

Manhatten is stirring 

Stumbling to its feet 

She walks away on water 

As we say goodbye 

And witness for the last time 

The great lakes of 32nd street 

And there's something about 

Morning touching down 

In New York 

And there's something about 

Morning touching down 

Touching down 

In New York 

New York 

New York 

New York
