lyrics

Hello lover, hello friend, don’t know when I’ll see you again
Though I have stamp and envelope, you will not be receiving this note
Ours is a tie that cannot bind, so I stay ever gentle on your mind
You hold the key to my front door, but I’ll never see inside yours

I’d send you a letter if I knew that it would be delivered to only you
But you don’t live alone in Apartment 3 of 170 Delancey

New York feels like home to me, and all at once a fantasy
Not unlike these stolen nights, impossible and impossibly right
I’ll look you up next time I go, hoping you’re not out on the road
Though I know come closing time, you’ll go your way and I mine

I’d send you a letter if I knew that it would be delivered to only you
But you don’t live alone in Apartment 3 of 170 Delancey

There’s a man a mile away wishing to make bright my day
I don’t have the heart to let him down ‘cause you took it with you when you left town
So I write down 14 lines having to do with warmer times
Leaving the surface barely scratched, that’s how I keep you coming back

I’d send you a letter if I knew that it would be delivered to only you
But you don’t live alone in Apartment 3 of 170 Delancey
I’d send you a letter and more besides, I’d let this lovin’ out from where it now hides
But you don’t live alone in Apartment 3 of 170 Delancey
I’d send you a letter if I knew that it would be delivered to only you
But you don’t live alone in Apartment 3, no you don’t live alone
