Love the architecture featured in this video, the places that make New York City, New York City. This video is lovely all the way around with great visuals, tender, emotion-grabbing lyrics, it has somewhat of a jazz feel a bit, and great vocals from Waite that make this a definite song to keep in rotation on any online playlist. It so beautifully captures the essence of New York City. It is so beautifully directed, too.
There's diamonds in the avenue As the dayshift turns to night In the Empire dinner dreaming Hard rain, fluorescent lights As the waitress fills my coffee cup And the working girls go by Drenched Irish Cops are dreaming sex And peep show alibis [Chorus:] Everything underneath the skyline From the east side to the west I see the miracles in real time And there's one I've loved the best See there's an angel on the D train As she's flying to my world And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl Times Square looks like Avalon In a Disney morphine dream Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk At the counter next to me I wake up in the bed sometimes And watch her as she sleeps In the silence and the sirens I pray her soul to keep [Chorus] The Catherine wheel burns bright tonight Down on the avenue But nowhere near as bright, my love As the fire that burns for you Everything underneath the skyline From the east side to the west Of the lives I've lived and those I've known There is one I've loved the best See there's an angel on the C train As she's flying to my world And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl

There's diamonds in the avenue
As the dayshift turns to night
In the Empire dinner dreaming
Hard rain, fluorescent lights
As the waitress fills my coffee cup
And the working girls go by
Drenched Irish Cops are dreaming sex
And peep show alibis
[Chorus:]
Everything underneath the skyline
From the east side to the west
I see the miracles in real time
And there's one I've loved the best
See there's an angel on the D train
As she's flying to my world
And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
Times Square looks like Avalon
In a Disney morphine dream
Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk
At the counter next to me
I wake up in the bed sometimes
And watch her as she sleeps
In the silence and the sirens
I pray her soul to keep
[Chorus]
The Catherine wheel burns bright tonight
Down on the avenue
But nowhere near as bright, my love
As the fire that burns for you
Everything underneath the skyline
From the east side to the west
Of the lives I've lived and those I've known
There is one I've loved the best
See there's an angel on the C train
As she's flying to my world
And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
And I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
Act of love guy still trying to recover after divorce shit lifes a bitch as they told me
Why is the res so low?
