Lyrics

Born On 1 st Ave.


We got off the train, feeling like mugger meat

Pounding on the head of a friend who was joking with my bag

'Smile!' Gordie said with flash as I caught the eye of an old lady laughing

'New York, New York' What a happening


Walking down Park Ave. wide eyed, n' dodging the cabs

You keep your eyes to your self and walk fast

And everything is just so, you don't want to mess with it

And when you think you got it down, you don't


There must be something beautiful

More than just the shape of cement

And there on the sidewalk of 1 st Ave.

A sparrow brought a soul to earth


So Toni had his wedding

And the jazz band was so cool

And everybody talked about the future

Made me wonder 'bout the baby born on 1 st Ave.


Manhattan made me sweat

Manhattan made me sleep

But when the train pulled away across the Hudson

Manhattan made me weep


There must be something beautiful

More than just the shape of cement

And there on the sidewalk of 1 st Ave.

A sparrow brought a soul to earth


C 2000 Ric Denis
