Central Park East Songtext

von Mercury Rev

The sun through the clouds
Shining on the cobblestones
I wade through the crowd

Lost, in my thoughts
Am I the only lonely boy to ever walk in Central Park?

Lovers, on the pond
Their shadows glide their way cross my face
Like a swan

Lifeboats, on the lawn
Couples on their blankets floating
Riding out a storm

Oh everywhere you turn
It seems that someone's letting go and someone else
Is hanging on

Laughing, their turning on
A million magic carpets
Touching down, and taking off

Alone, with my thoughts
Am I the only lonely boy, to ever walk in central park?

Am I the only lonely boy, to ever walk in central park?
Am I the only lonely boy, to ever walk in central park?

I'm listening, to the sound
Of champagne glasses spilling out
Daydreams on the ground

Wondering, where we went wrong
And if I'll ever get another
Chance to dream along

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hey, can you tell me?
Wise old horse with scars
Am I the only lonely boy, to ever walk this lovers park?

Am I the only lonely boy, to ever walk in Central Park?
Am I the only lonely boy whose ever walked in Central Park?
(La la la la la la la)

Am I the only lonely boy, to ever walk in Central Park?
Am I the only lonely boy?

The sun through the clouds
Shining on cobblestones
A way through the crowd

Lost, in my thoughts
Am I the only lonely boy to ever walk
In Central Park?
