The Stray Birds - Harlem lyrics

My city's had a lot of trouble sleepin' She's up all night Breakin' through the windows and the ceilin's Scrapin' stars from the sky And my city's made a habit out of cryin' All through the night They say she likes the harmony of sirens And the time of the traffic light But I love my city My sleepless city I'll do her sleepin' for free Yeah, I love my city My sleepless city Yeah, she can do my cryin' for me My city's pickin' fights across the water With the worn out moon And I watch her from honey colored corner A quiet room Where I hung a little picture of my darlin' Black and white But it's been fadin' on yellow wall in Harlem Since she left that night But I love my city My sleepless city I'll do her sleepin' for free Yeah, I love my city My sleepless city Yeah, she can do my cryin' for me Well, I love my city My sleepless city I'll do her sleepin' for free Yeah, I love my city My sleepless city Yeah, she can do my cryin' for me Yeah, she can do my cryin' for me Yeah, she can do my cryin' for me
