Lyrics

Coming Home Tonight

Verse 1:
I'm walking down the streets of old Manhattan
It's mid-day and central park has come to life
But all I can think about is you
And all those crazy things you do
Oh I'm coming home to you tonight

Verse 2:
I hitch a C-train ride on down to Brooklyn
I'm standing out like a maple leaf amongst the stars
A piece of mind what I'm looking for
As I'm walking up the steps to your front door
Oh I'm coming home to you tonight

Chorus:
So fast paced city can you save my life
If I settle here would it be alright
Drink myself until quarter to two
If only for another moment with you
Tell you my secrets my hearts desire
Baby my bloods your burning fire
Oh I'm coming home to you tonight

Verse 3:
Flying high looking down on New York City
Each little light below has got it's own story to tell
And all I can think about is you
And all those crazy things you do
Oh I'm coming home to you tonight

Chorus

Verse 3 Reprise

Oh I'm coming home to you tonight
