In days of grace this journey's a thrill to me
The New York City skyline takes me in
People at the station look and sometimes say to me,
"You never had it so easy,
Taking in the world with your guitar,
You never had it so easy "

I swear that's cold comfort
On a freezing New York night
Without my baby

It's bitter sweet - new music, new faces
There's always someone missing from the scene
It's late at night, somebody from home says,
"You never had it so easy,
Taking in the world with your guitar,
You never had it so easy "

I swear that's cold comfort
On a freezing New York night
Without my baby
