Autumn in New York (January 22 or 23, 1952 - Charlie Parker With Strings) Songtext
von Charlie Parker

I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City
I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I′ll be on my way
I guess the lord must be in New York City

I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein′ my prayers going unanswered
I guess the lord must be in New York City


Well here I am Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I've always wanted to be
For the first time I′ll be free
In New York City

I say goodbye to all my sorrows
And by tomorrow I′ll be on my way
I guess the lord must be in New York City

I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein′ my prayers going unanswered
I guess the lord must be in New York City

Well here I am Lord
Knocking on your back door
Ain't it wonderful to be
Where I′ve always wanted to be
For the first time I'll be free
In New York City
