Hey Collen I think I saw you through the window a few nights ago 
before I left
And I remember seeing that as getting older cuz I saw you but I didn’t feel it
I never knew you just a memory from somewhere crooked smile and a violin
But we were kids, no seriously, little kids and for some reason it’s these things stick

(chorus)
There was a sunset crashing down New York city in the middle of the winter winds
I came home on a late bus asking where oh where is home and wondering where all of this begins

Hey Colleen well I don’t know if you remember but when we were still in middle school
I thought that you were prettiest of all the girls and you thought I was just singing fool
Well hey Colleen you ought know it makes me smile when I think about my younger ways
I’m looking out on 7th avenue and Chris and wondering if you ever feel the same

(chorus)
Well hey Collen I think I saw you through the window a few nights ago before I left
And I remember seeing that as getting older cuz I saw you but I didn’t feel it

Hey Colleen

All Blues

I’m goin to New York in the morning
To get myself a girl
Stay up late on the telephone till our words all start to slur
I’m going to New York in the morning
Just to try my luck
And if I don’t come back tomorrow
Don’t expect me back at all

And Lord she looks just like a daydream
Sings just like a dove
Dances like a bad girl but she always comes back home
I’m gonna see how far this gets me
And it might not at all
But if I’m not back by tomorrow
Don’t expect me back at all

I’m going uptown on a one line
Rushin like my thoughts
Bless the cash and railroad tracks and bless her lovin’ heart
Well I’ve been wanting something new and
This may well be it 
So if I’m not back by tomorrow
Don’t expect me back at all

I'm Going (to New York in the Morning)

I used to love a bad girl who acted like a good girl sing
Sha la la la la la la la la
She said she loved me and that I was all she needed
But we both knew that that isn’t all

She said she wasn’t drinking she would stay out all night like
sha la la la la la la la la
She had all of these guys friends she said she didn’t like 
But we both knew that that wasn’t true at all

I used to go read books about romantic situations heard
sha la la la la la la la la
She watched television about love and accusations and
Took it with her when she turned it off

So Andrew and Dylan and Alex and Vinnie go
sha la la la la la la la la la
With a boy with a girl name and drop-out with tattoos
As long as we all know it’s worth nothin’ at all

As long as we know it's worth nothin' at all
