Dutchtown

Liner Notes
Mostly written from jotted notes I took while walking in some of my old neighborhoods in #NYC last summer. I pulled the notes back out and wrote this. #acousticonetake #indiepop
Lyrics
(V1) Head down to the old Dutchtown If you want to get lost and not be found Wondering why you don’t come around Since everything changed so fast
Finally made it up on 48 Then something changed and you made the trade You never knew you had it so great Till the present was the past
(ch) C#m - G#m - A - B Put my feet down on Broadway Maybe not now but maybe someday Not quite here, not now But it still feels like We’re down on Broadway
(v2) You lit it once and it never went out It was your life — now you live without I never knew what it was about I just knew who you were
Took the 14 T to the PA And whatever it was they took away What you were I couldn’t say But I still see you there
(Br) C#m - E - A - B Met the boys but it’s not the same DUMBO just can’t compete When Disney came to Times Square It got clean but somehow incomplete
(v3) Turning back without a plan Finding out just where I am Somehow its smaller now Than it was back then
(ch) Put my feet down on Broadway Maybe not now but maybe someday Not quite here, not now But it still feels like We’re down on Broadway
