Simon, Paul - New York Is My Home Lyrics






The morning came today
With rain and sheets of grey
The subway rocked me out of bed
To take me on my way

Where I go, I go in style
Each and every mile
You know, I'm not alone
New York is my home

I got a girl up in the Bronx
She treats me like a king
I'll give her anything she wants
She is my everything

She can be hard as concrete
Soft as a summer breeze
We can wake the dawn
New York is my home

New York is calling me
It's on the phone
It's like the rooftop songs
Up from the cobblestones

You will never hear me say
"The city street's too loud"
I hear a gospel hymn
In every passing crowd

It trails me and it tails me down
To central park
Even after dark
New York is my home

New York is calling me
And now I find
The city never sleeps
It's my state of mind

The breezes blow
And take me where the Hudson never flows
The harbour light shines on the piers
As all young lovers know

I can touch the world
As it sails in from everywhere
I'm not alone
New York is my home

New York is calling me
And now I find
The city never sleeps
It's my state of mind

The breezes blow
And take me where the Hudson never flows
The harbour light shines on the piers
As all young lovers know

I can touch the world
As it sails in from everywhere
I'm not alone
New York is my home

I'm not alone
New York is my home

    Youre great at making music, but youre a greedy bastard

  23. R.... W....

    Dion is a fucking cunt now. Going around claiming YouTube vids. Fuck him

  24. D.... x....

    It's so disappointing to see a man who has lied about losing a million dollars and claiming and suing Bethesda and content creators for giving him free advertising and spreading his amazing music around the world, I hope that it's just some sort of corporation doing these ungrateful things and not the man who has been "gifted" from it doing this.

  25. 6.... ....

    Your stance on Fallout is absolutely pathetic

    Dion is more amazing than ever. Add sexy on top of that, and WOW!

  67. D.... P....

    what's Dion's full name?

  68. R.... L....

    I posted this a year or two ago, missing New York so I thought I would re-post

  69. d.... ....

    By the way look up the definition of Homicide. Because in the Fallout game there are what are known as supermutants ,who regularly engage in cannibalism and Murder. It is not homicide when your defending yourself lawfully against said supermutants from bodily harm. As someone who has played the games and scenes in question I can say that this is what transpires in the trailers for the game. There is no craven violence just for the sake of violence,unless you specifically make it that was as a individual player. And thats not on Zenimax. Thats the consumer. Despite what you or whomever wrote your lawsuit states. The WHOLE game is about nothing but a "Struggle for survival in a post apocalyptic wasteland" And to add salt to YOUR wound,its all in the name of finding and defending your son. In trying to sue Zenimax or whomever you want money from,you are in the wrong. You might not like it or what the game is about,or more accurately what you think it's about,since you have no interactions with the game firsthand but you are in the wrong. Learn what it is you are talking about and then get over yourself.

    I can only hope you actually read this somehow so you get some insight into what a tool you are being. You used to be awesome in the eyes of some. Now you are being just another dumb knobhead.

  70. d.... ....

    You are either GREEDY,DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO FACTS,or just a DUMBASS. The Fallout game franchise in no way features a "Man armed to the teeth looking for victims to slaughter" Maybe you would know that if you actually paid attention to what you were talking about. If you bothered to find out the actual content that makes use of your song,you'd know it was about a man who lost and continues to lose everything,including his wife and world,while continuing to WANDER the landscape looking for his kidnapped son. There's is nothing inherently "repugnant" about any of it. And again you'd know that if you weren't either full of crap,or if you had a working brain. By the way,I will say I think your music is great. But your argument over this fallout thing is just plain worthless. Either stop focusing on money like a greedy asshat,or stop being an ignorant aging,disconnected fuckhead,and learn what it is that your up in arms against. You just might find that your wrong. Like those of us who have actually played it and been involved at all on any level know you are.

  71. S.... C....

    Love the song and love DION!! Glad I grew up in the Bronx. I relate so much to him.

  72. C.... S....

    Damn, Simon and Dion have aged well. I'm blown away.

  73. N.... R....

    Oh wow, Runaround Sue is one of my favorite songs but I had no idea Dion was still making music. I'm glad

  74. L.... S....

    I CAN`T STOP PLAYING THE SONG, LOVELY TUNE AND LYRICS ! CAN`T WAIT TO SEE PAUL SIMON ON 21.06.17

  75. D.... S....

    They're moving in slow motion and yet their lips are matched with the music (?). Maybe they lip-synced to it sped up? Great song, anyhow.

  76. n.... l....

    j'adore

  77. D.... I....

    Dion is a rock & roll hero.

  78. D.... R....

    I could listen to all your songs all day long YO The greatest person around

  79. D.... R....

    This is a great song

  80. D.... R....

    DION love this song

  81. A.... S....

    My only regret is that I didn't find this sooner. Beautiful ~ I thank you for this.

  82. f.... ....

    Queens and The Bronx teaming up for a musical love-fest. Do wonders never cease?

  83. d.... m....

    Gonna be sad when Dion passes.

  84. j.... i....

    Dion is to his generation of New Yorkers what The Beatles were to the world a decade later.

  85. L.... M....

    My favorite song about my favorite city! I agree!

  86. R.... S....

    Gorgeous song. Love both these guys, but when I hear Simon I instantly see New York.

  87. H.... M....

    Nice....

  88. G.... P....

    This is why I always loved Dion when I was young. This track is incredible.

  89. R.... ....

    So, okay. This is a beautiful song which I just now heard for the first
    time. So now I'm homesick, and I'm crying. And I've just realized that
    regardless of how I voted, come January 20, 2017, on some level,
    somewhere in my heart, I'm going to be shouting... "NYC IS IN DA
    HOUSE!!!"

  90. D.... R....

    Bought your CD At your concert at the Tropicana November 5, 2016 a very good CD Keep up the good work

  91. M.... W....

    I listen to u and I miss my home ny the Bronx

  97. P.... G....

    Zac. :) <3

  98. E.... S....

    I'm not a big lyrics person, but, as someone with a deep love for NYC, the words to this song completely capture my feelings. Lump in the throat stuff.
