Couplet
GI came down to Albany
GTo New York, to find what I'd been Fmissing
I Glooked across the river to
The Gcity where the windows all stood Fglistening
I stood Emlistening
Couplet
InGto a tunnel I did ride
Like a Ggrave inside, but I was young and Fable
When GI came out the other end
GThrough the smoke the winter light was Ffeeble
UnEmreadable
Couplet
GI was optimistic though
A Gcabbie told me where to go, I thanked Fhim
A Gface of white a face of brown
GHere a smile, there a look of Fdanger
For a Emstranger
Pré-refrain
DmIt was too unreal for me
I Emfound no one who trusted me
There Fwas no man could offer me
A Gcold hand from New York-o-o-Fork Em
Refrain
GCold hands from New York
A voice wiFthin you cries
"Won't someone please Ghelp me"
I'll Gdo the same for you one day
If Fyou should ever pass my way and Gneed me

Couplet
GI came down to live alone
In GNew York, the city of the liFving
GThere were fortunes at my feet
But Gmost of men were taking, none were giFving
Or forEmgiving
Couplet
GChildren ran and children played
And Groses grew in alleyways, I Fsaw them
GThere were men who lived in style
And Gothers who had died where no one Fknew them
'Because they Emcouldn't win
Couplet
GThere were parks where old men slept
And Gdingy rooms where babies crept, unFwanted
'Til GI began to ask myself
If Gthere was hope or if it mattered Fwhat they did
Or Emif they lived
Pré-refrain
DmIt was too unreal for me
I Emfound no one who trusted me
There Fwas no man could offer me
A Gcold hand from New York-o-o-Fork Em
Refrain
GCold hands from New York
A voice wiFthin you cries
"Won't someone please Ghelp me"
I'll Gdo the same for you one day
If Fyou should ever pass my way and Gneed me

I Glooked across the river to
The Gcity where the windows all stood Fglistening

Couplet
GThere were prophets in the squares
And Gpeople there who smiled and said forFget it
GThere were lovers in the park
And Gthere was danger in the dark, I Ffelt it
So aEmfraid of it
Couplet
GThere were preachers of the word
And Gpoets who were never heard, I Fheard them
GThere were those who would not try
To Glearn the measure of the Flie
They're Emliving
Couplet
I Gheard a young musician play
GIn a place where they paid you not to Flisten
I Gheard a woman scream for help
While Gmen stood by and offered their best Fwishes
That's Emhow it is
