The air is still, the moon a yellow fingernail
It smells like gin beneath the junipers
A scraping sound, shovel in the muddy ground
I hope you thought to bring a change of shoes
Listen dear, we have a situation here
Someone’s picking up what we put down
Oh my word, I got it from a little bird
It might be better if we're not around
You're a murderer, what you gonna do
I'm a murderer too
I'm a murderer, say it cause its true
You're a murderer too
Your pouty lip, chewing on your fingertip
A troubled look across your face
Narrow squint did we wipe the fingerprints
How can we be sure we left no trace
Sin or crime, I think we might have crossed a line
I fear my dear there is no turning back
Do you recall the moment when we lost it all
A clenched fist going slack

East River Ferry Waltz
03:58
|
|||
Walk with me for a while
Past the parking lot out where the boats glide by
As the sun settles down on the Upper West Side
We’ll leave solid ground behind
Put our faces to the wind
Tell stories and secrets of lovers and friends
Or say nothing at all
Do the east river ferry waltz…
Queens softly snores
She’s got to wake up for work in the morning
Manhattan's a drunken mess
Passed out in her silver party dress
As we bump into Brooklyn shore
We stumble like drunkards across the floor
With a step two three, step two three, step two three turn…
Do the east river ferry waltz…
When the waters rise again
Never to come back down
We'll sail between tall buildings
Where we used to work uptown
And an orchestra of seagulls
With be the only sound
And we’ll turn to face each other
Do the east river ferry waltz…
The wind can blow good things to you
But the tide will pull them away
Let's treasure this time between us two
With the intimate lopsided sway
Of the east river ferry waltz…
