When Manhattan Was A Maiden versuri

When Manhattan was a maiden, I was her lover
I was the Brooklyn Bridge carrying wood for her fires
The horns and the whistles her personal choir
I gave her those things her young heart most desired
 
And oh, how the band played on
And oh, once again into the dawn
 
When Manhattan was a maiden, I was her lover
I was the snow curving blind down around her hips
The horse making tracks on the first of his trips
As the deep scarlet moon, I was kissing her lips
 
And oh, how the band played on
And oh, how the band played on
And oh, once again into the dawn
When Manhattan was a maiden
 
Now she is a wild girl, this island
The shucks of the sidewalks
She leaps off it's ledge,
Doesn't need to be reminded
 
With her 'touch me' pants and her 'go to hell' shoes
Not much could still be new for her,
This beauty born and brutal as the New York day is long
 
When Manhattan was a maiden, I was her lover
Maybe she still has my picture between some leather-bound pages
But her number, it changes again and again
I don't know if she would recognize such an old friend
 
But oh, how the band plays on
And oh, how the band plays on
Oh, once again into the dawn
 
Oh, New York City, baby
Happy New Year
Once again into the dawn
'Round again, it goes around
