The early morning light

Sweeps the streets clean

Sounds collect and rise

In tower canyons

New York 6am

Evening revelries

Are safely sleeping

Melted all away

Or whisper fading

New York 6am

New York 6am

Do you see the sunrise

On the eastern skyline

Do you feel the sunrise

Do you feel the morning light

And if you know the way out

Why do you always want to stay

And if you love the country

Why does it rub you the wrong way

The weepy evening light

Lays its head down

Cabs go drifting by in yellow waves

No more misery

Your eyes are singing

No more misery the sun has set til

New York 6am

New York 6am
