[00:03.13] Think of each plaza pier and public park
[00:07.85]
[00:08.38] How many sit there empty lonely dark
[00:12.03]
[00:13.76] Think of it for tomorrow's sake
[00:16.15] Think of how you and I can make our mark
[00:21.77] You and I
[00:22.52] We can draw a brand-new grid
[00:27.13] Everything that you dreamed of as a kid
[00:32.54] Give it a year and go with me
[00:35.00] Soon enough you'll say "Look what we two did"
[00:39.61] You've always had the right dream
[00:42.31] We've always made a tight team
[00:44.94] Now at last you're back
[00:46.08] Exactly where you ought to be
[00:50.65] So let's make a map of New York you and me
[00:55.16] (New Yorker:)
[00:56.91]
[00:59.91] Twenty-two Reade a building sidewalk shade
[01:02.83] (Another New Yorker:)
[01:03.74] Now a memory that for Beth will never fade
[01:06.36]
[01:07.25] (Beth:)
[01:07.65] And I could be planning city sites
[01:10.18] Where memories just like this one might be made
[01:13.51] (Writer:)
[01:14.66] Thirty-three Bond
[01:15.46] Where I wrote my first book
[01:17.16] (Chef:)
[01:18.64] Greenwich and Moore
[01:19.45] Where I learend how to cook
[01:21.64] (Young Woman:)
[01:22.52] The Center Street courts
[01:23.70] I intern there
[01:24.81] (Beth:)
[01:25.50] The joy of this job is everywhere I look
[01:28.76] (Messenger:)
[01:29.67] That market was my first job
[01:32.02] (Elena:)
[01:32.71] That diner was my worst job
[01:34.78] (Those Six:)
[01:35.54] And everywhere around me are these lives I left behind
[01:40.47] (Foreman:)
[01:40.95] The Tunnel where I laid rail
[01:43.32] (Realtor:)
[01:43.72] The co-op where I made my first sale
[01:45.84] (All Eight:)
[01:46.53] They make a map of New York in my mind
[01:50.98] (Anne:)
[01:51.81]
[01:54.92] Put a sticker on the map where you landed that first day
[01:59.13] (Kate:)
[02:00.30] Put a pin on the bridge
[02:01.64] (Lucas:)
[02:02.05] On the train
[02:02.60] (Anne:)
[02:02.97] On J F K
[02:04.73] (Beth:)
[02:05.90] On the street where I swore I'd afford a place some day
[02:09.98] (Kate Anne Lucas & New Yorkers:)
[02:11.30] Ev'ry avenue and place
[02:13.00] Ev'ry building ev'ry face
[02:14.46] Of the lovers and the friends
[02:15.77] The beginnings and the ends
[02:17.21] Make a map of NYC
[02:18.50] Where I've been and who I'll be
[02:22.44]
[02:24.89] And you'll find me
[02:27.14]
[02:27.84] (Liz:)
[02:29.19]
[02:36.82] And you're feeling adrift alone apart
[02:39.65] Then suddenly life will somehow start
[02:42.41] And a map of New York is written on your heart
[02:46.15] (New Yorkers:)
[02:46.68] On your heart
[02:47.49] On your heart
[02:48.75]
[02:49.59] (Beth:)
[02:51.64] I'm too old for all that shit
[02:53.13] To be told I'm selling out
[02:56.90] Then again all these years
[02:58.42] Did I lose what I'm about
[03:01.71]
[03:02.60] On the street in the cold
[03:04.00] It's so hard to fight the doubt
[03:07.23] (Beth & New Yorkers:)
[03:08.20] Then you hear the tunnel hum
[03:09.69] With a rain about to come
[03:11.08] And you surface to the street
[03:12.44] And you fall into the beat
[03:13.87] You can trace a line to me
[03:15.42] On that map of NYC
[03:18.76] Right where I should be
[03:21.34] (Stephen:)
[03:22.78]
[03:32.80] Think of how human life will ebb and flow
[03:36.83] (Stephen & Beth:)
[03:38.87] People and how they'll come and how they'll go
[03:45.35] Remember the things we hoped and planned
[03:48.29] (Stephen:)
[03:48.75] Remember them and believe them and you'll know
[03:55.19] (Beth & Stephen:)
[03:56.91] We'll know
[03:57.60] (Beth Stephen & New Yorkers:)
[03:58.99] We never walk a straight line
[04:01.03] We never check a street sign
[04:02.99] (Beth & Stephen:)
[04:03.99] But it's in the detour that we truly find our way
[04:08.93] (Stephen & New Yorkers:)
[04:09.80] We always know the way home
[04:11.81] (Beth & New Yorkers:)
[04:12.67] As long as we can stay here we're home
[04:14.87] (Beth:)
[04:15.51] And we make a map of work
[04:17.66] (New Yorkers:)
[04:18.29] Love and loss and life
[04:19.26] (Stephen:)
[04:19.62] And we make a map of play
[04:20.82] (New Yorkers:)
[04:21.34] We find our way
[04:22.26] (Stephen & New Yorkers:)
[04:23.09] And we make a map of New York ev'ry day
[04:27.25] (New Yorker:)
[04:28.50]
[04:29.17] Ending the night at 23rd and Third
[04:31.73] (Another New Yorker:)
[04:33.02] Liz and her date
[04:34.00] Who's hanging on each word
