[Verse 1]
Drank the dark wine of the New York night
My shattered mind across the borderline
Spent the night in someone else's arms

[Chorus]
Shed your love, shed your love
Shed your love, shed your love

[Verse 2]
On a subway train before the dawn
The ride was short, but my thoughts were long
Couldn't figure what got in to me

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Headed out to leave it all behind
Escape it all to see what I could find
Told you on the phone across the sea

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Fell off of the plane in Amsterdam
Shop the streets to find out who I am
Came on back to near reality

[Chorus]

[Verse 5]
Home again to find that you were gone
On a subway train before the dawn
Said you couldn't stay and wait for me

[Chorus]

[Verse 6]
Drank the dark wine of the New York night
My shattered mind across the borderline
Spent the night in someone else's arms

[Chorus/Outro]
