(Donald Fagen, Marcelle Clemments)



Since you left me darling

The city doesn't feel right

On the street the music stopped 

And the light seem half as bright

Without your love

This old town's no fun at all

Without your love

I only hear the loudest voices

The one's with something new to sell

And now it's all

Big talk, big name, big noise, New York



I walk from the river to West Broadway

Every stranger spoke your name

Every sign read 'yesterday'

Without your love



This old town's no fun at all

Without your love

I only see the drifting shadows

Of the losers and the lost

And now it's all

Big talk, big name, big noise, New York



There was a time

When the night was just for dancing

Till the sun rose over the skyline

But now you're gone

And the fear of winter grows

Just a place where the money flows

And there never was a springtime



Another season begins fast and loud

It's supposed to be a party

But to me, it's just a crowd



Without your love

This old town's no fun at all

Without your love

I'm left with all the memories darling

Of words I thought were true

But it was all

Big talk, big name, big noise, New York

Well, it was all

Big talk, big name, big noise, New York
