And up here I read in the papers, They say the night will fall to seven below, And I read safe by the fire, My guilt is covered in New York snow, Covered in New York Snow.

He breaks his back, he lies awake, He tries so hard it moves me. But one thing's still beyond his grasp; The answer to this mystery Is under the New York Snow.
