"Manhattan Island Serenade" lyrics - LEON RUSSELL

LEON RUSSELL
"Manhattan Island Serenade"
(C. R. Bridges / Leon Russell)

Sitting on a highway in a broken van
Thinking of you again
Guess I have to hitchhike to the station
With every step I see your face

Like a mirror looking back at me
Saying you're the only one
Making me feel I could survive
Am so glad to be alive

[Chorus:]
Nowhere to run and not a guitar to play
Messed up inside and it's been raining all day
Since you went away
Manhattan Island serenade

Sitting on a highway in a broken van
Thinking of you again
Guess I'll have to hitchhike down a highway
With every step I see your face

Like a mirror looking back at me
Saying you're the only one
Making me feel I could survive
Am so glad to be alive

[Chorus:]
Nowhere to run and not a guitar to play
Messed up inside and it's been raining all day
Since you went away
Manhattan Island serenade

[Outro:]
Since you went away
Manhattan Island serenade
