Ben Lee - Grammercy Park Hotel - Текст песни

It's 3 AM in New York 
Sometime in 1995 
The other half of the world 
The other side 

It might have been warm outside, maybe cold 
Who could tell? 
Three of us stumbled into room 421 
At the Grammercy Park Hotel 

It's 3 AM in New York 
We sat for a while 
We started to talk 
We started to smile 

Then he played a song I knew very well 
3 AM in New York 
At the Grammercy Park Hotel 

He passed the guitar around 
Over and over and over again 
Till one of us broke a string 
It was probably him 

But the songs came out strong 
They were loud, they were long 
There were songs about girls, about boys 
Sung a lot, screamed a lot 
We made lots of noise 

It's 3 AM in New York 
It's the time of my life
Minstrels and maidens and heartbroken songs 
Made me cry 

And we were anonymous, androgynous 
Bearers of truth 
And the indie rock columnists would have freaked out 
If they knew 

It's 3 AM in New York 
And I knew we were right 
We were young, not so young 
And in love with our lives 

3 AM in New York 
I went back to bed 
Three lone true prophets 
With songs in our heads 

It's 3 AM in New York 
And I just felt God 
Lying awake in the dark 
I was in awe 

And I know in reality
It might not be true 
But for three of us here in New York 
It's all we could do 

I know it's just songs, played on guitars 
It's not rocket science, flying to Mars 
And I know it's not much, but it's all that I have 
To be sure that I'm real 
Again and again 

And If there comes a day 
When my fingers don't work 
Or my voice loses sound 
Gives me grief, gives me hurt 
Well, I swear on that day 
When I lose what's worthwhile 
From that day forth I never shall smile 

It's 3 AM in New York 
I feel fine, I feel well 
Sound asleep 
At the Grammercy Park Hotel
