I stepped out the taxi cab on 2nd avenue for the 1st time
I never even set eyes before.
But I see my footprints all around here
My guitar, borrowed suitcase, borrowed floor
There's nothing more to say, I know I had to come
And I'm a million miles away and I am all alone
But it feels like I am home

I walked around, went underground and
I see how I could survive here
I see a million hungry eyes that I recognise from mine here
I was right, just my judgement that was wrong
There's nothing more to say the moment has now gone
And I'm a million miles away and I'm 5 hours behind
But it feels like the right time

I hear a distant call and I know that I have to leave here
I pack up all my things,
I say all my goodbyes, close the door here
We were right, just bad timing I suppose
There's nothing more to say, you know I got to go
And I'm a million miles away and I left you there alone
So I'll say goodbye, I'm going home
