lyrics

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
East river ferry waltz
East river ferry waltz
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
Step two three, step two three, step two three turn

Do the east river ferry waltz
East river ferry waltz
East river ferry waltz
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

Will be the only sound

And we’ll turn to face each other

Do the east river ferry waltz
East river ferry waltz
East river ferry waltz
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
East river ferry waltz
East river ferry waltz
East river ferry waltz
