lyrics

1st Avenue is sleeping
But will wake up with the day
She knows that life is beautiful
But in a winter way

She'll somehow fake a scheme
He won't suffer all her longing
Sunday mornings are for walking out the door

She feels her spirits lifted
By the elevator floor
That descends into tomorrow
And the taxi's open door

She'll take a subway train
For as far as trains can take her
Sunday mornings aren't for faking anymore
She's leaving New York City

She sees a city fading
From a bedroom masquerading as a big jet plane
She has a family waiting
And she knows they'll keep on waiting
In the winter way they stand in place

1st Avenue is yawning
As the winter has its way

She’ll somehow break away
He won't suffer all her longing
Sunday mornings are for walking out the door

She'll take a subway train
For as far as trains can take her
Sunday mornings aren't for faking anymore
She's leaving New York City
