MANHATTAN  

It’s as blue as your nights, as clear as the Oamaru sky’s I was waiting for this, I was waiting for you to arrive

It’s like waiting for rain, such sweet release from the pain, and you cured with one kiss, all that I tried to resist

Chorus: You’ve been a long time coming, this sweet silent thought, that I crowned in my mind, mm Manhattan  befriend me now

And all the we fear we gather and draw oh so near, deny or endure or maybe this time to kill or to cure

Chorus: You’ve been a long time coming, this sweet silent thought, that I crowned in my mind, mm befriend me

Bridge: And you will find, only reckless some of the time, but never, never surreal

Solo…Choru…. You’ve been a long time coming, this sweet silent thought, that I crowned in my mind, mm Manhattan madness  befriend me, long time coming, this sweet silent thought, that I crowned in my mind, befriend me now

Such a sweet silent thought…..befriends me now…..this Manhattan madness……Madness comes again, in the shape of a friend.
