Lyrics
Roosevelt Island (Music and Lyrics (C) Chris Orbach)
A copy of The Evening Star
Sitting in the cable car
The ground falls away
So do you
Nighttime comes, twilight dies
A wall goes up behind your eyes
And nothing I can say makes it through
So I turn, watch the water down below
It?s like moonlit tinfoil in a grade-school show
Never any tears when it?s really the end
Hope I never love this hard again
We had dreams, we held plans
In each other?s fumbling hands
?Till the ground fell away
Sure did try
Thought I?d pushed it from my head
This place became a shrine instead
To something that seemed too strong to die
Now the tin can cradle drops and slows
The final crossing comes to a peaceful close
Never any tears when it?s really the end
I hope I never love this hard
Hope I never love this hard
Hope I never love this hard
Again
