Julia Fordham Manhattan Skyline Lyrics

Manhattan Skyline Lyrics

What chance did I stand? How could I resist?

Your American arms and your French kiss

From New York to London, London to New York

With this broken heart so British



Ooh ooh yeah yeah

As broken as the Manhattan skyline



Ooh ooh yeah yeah

As broken as the fragments of my mind

My mind my mind



New York to London...yeah



Now our love is lying like some troubled land

Now you are my Ireland, and I'm your 'Nam

From New York to London, London to New York

With this broken heart so British



Ooh ooh yeah yeah

As broken as the Manhattan skyline



Ooh ooh yeah yeah

As broken as the fragments of my mind

My mind my mind



I should cry more tears for Israel

Instead of dwelling in my own hell

And my love and my world's plight

They're still giving me sleepless nights



What chance did I stand? How could I resist?

Now this broken this broken this broken heart...

So British



Ooh ooh yeah yeah

As broken as the Manhattan skyline



Ooh ooh yeah yeah

As broken as the fragments of my mind



(Repeat chorus; ad lib to fade)
