I met a girl on the train from Montreal to New York.
A girl that went and won my heart when she sang along to Garfunkel's parts, whoa-oh.
I found out at the border she was just 18,
with Saint-Laurent fading in my memory.
Oh, I said hello, bluebird, hello. Do you wanna sit and talk awhile with me?
We fell in love somewhere south of Saratoga Springs.
She was getting off in Albany, so I kissed her in Schenectady (or right outside.)
She licked her lips and smiled at me.
I sat and listened to her breathe.
And I said goodnight, bluebird, goodnight. I hope you're thinking of me while you sleep.
Oh, New York, you can be such a motherfucker when you try.
There's a mist hanging in these Adirondack trees.
I'm liable to go insane staring out at Lake Champlain so long.
Bluebird breaks my little reverie,
saying that she wants to come with me.
So I said goodbye, bluebird, goodbye. Please don't follow me to New York.
Oh, New York, you can be such a motherfucker when you try.
