They only play this song When December rolls around And I sing to every word we (?) along Though I've not seen New York City After all this time I've found It never fails to start reminding me of home So put the sun behind that skyline And throw me on the train And I'll pretend that all the strangers in this car know me by name Now don't worry about me adjusting to your plans Cause I'm coming back to see you when I can As I wonder through this city It's so easy to forget Even big words on the map can be so small It's been so long since I've seen you Since I've been to hug your neck I often feel you won't remember me at all If you see my mother tell her I love her Put my picture on the shelf You can both just rest assured that I can take care of myself Found me what it means to me to be a man Still I'm coming back to see you when I can I never want to hurry But if given half a chance I brought myself up long enough to just stand still But I'm afraid that you might miss me If given fleeting glance Now I'm so afraid you always will Yes I'm so afraid you always will As I pull out of the parking lot This car is so damn cold And I watch the city lights fade out of view And the only thing that warns me under street light mary gold Is this song that keeps reminding me of you So keep your eyes under the red light In the corner of the bar And in that fleeting moment you'll find me and my guitar This is not just what I do alone This is who I am And I'm coming back to see you when I can This is what I do and this is who I am And I'm coming back to see you when I can When I can When I can
