Bleecker Street歌词

bleeker street (2:42)
p. simon, 1964
previously unreleased demo from march 1964;
the final version was released on wednesday morning, 3 a.m. bleecker street
fog’s rollin’ in off the east river bank
like a shroud

it covers bleeker street
fills the alleys where men sleep
hides the shepherd from the sheep

voices leaking from a sad cafe
smiling faces try to understand
i saw a shadow touch a shadow’s hand
on bleeker street

a poet reads his crooked rhyme
holy, holy is his sacrament
thirty dollars pays your rent
on bleeker street

i heard a church bell softly chime
in a melody sustainin’
it’s a long road to canaan
on bleeker street

bleeker street
